- Artwork story
- This picture is Manu (Shark) He is travelling around looking around 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 water. We can use this painting for ceremony (as a body painting) and we dance for shark. Story told by Wilson Manydjarri
