Member of the community of Papunya, Ada celebrates in her work the Tingari Ancestors, who traveled to the Time of Dream - mythical time of creation of the world for the Aborigines - the Australian desert in company with their wives and young initiates. At each stage of their journey, they created sacred sites, established religious ceremonies, gave the clans laws and customs and taught them to feed on the natural resources of the region.
The ochre background evokes the color of sand, while the multiple circles seen from the sky symbolize sacred sites.
