Sylvia Drover Napanangka is depicting on this canva four concentric circles using an accumulation of dots.

She is using the method of dot painting, or pointillism, inspired by the floor paintings traditionally produced for ritual ceremonies.

From an aerial perspective, these circles could represent termite mounds. These are the shelters built by termites, which form large circles on the ground. These motifs could also evoke water holes, symbols of life in the desert.
