The Short St Gallery documentation reads, 'Daniel has painted the jila (living water) of his ancestor's country. This waterhole was an important place for Daniel's family who lived in the desert until the early 1970s. In Daniel's hometown of Bidyadanga, Daniel paints with elders of the community who communicated the landscape of Winpa through song and painting. Winpa is significant to his people because some of the elders have strong memories of losing their brother and sisters at this waterhole. The large waterhole is connected underground to the surrounding yenta (creeks) and jila of the landscape. Daniel had also painted the abundance of mayi (bushfood) that is dotted over half the tali (sand dunes).'
