- Story told by the Artist.
This picture is Mana (Shark). He is travelling around looking for special place (link from ancestral past), but staying in the same place (staying within his boundary). You can see the fin on top of the water. We can use this painting for ceremony (as a body painting) and we dance for the shark.
