The artwork is by Indigenous artists Omay Nampijinpa Gallagher from Nyirripi in Central Australia. It is about 440 km from Alice Springs in the Tanami Desert.
Omay's work depicts a particular site of the Yankirri Jukurrpa (Emu Dreaming) at Ngarlikurlangu, north of Yuendumu. The emu travelled to the rockhole at Ngarlikurlangu to find water. This dreamtime belongs to Jangala/Jampijinpa men and Nangala /Nampijinpa women. In contemporary Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa, associated sites and other elements. Emus are usually represented by their footprints, arrow like shapes, that show them walking around Ngarlikiurlangu eating bush raisins. In the time of the Dreaming there was a fight at the site between an emu ancestor and an Australian bustard ancestor over sharing the bush raisin. There is also a dance for this Dreaming that is performed during initiation ceremonies
