Explications pour cette œuvre :

“Kaalpa is my grandfather ngurra (home) where they walked, hunting bush tuckers. I went there for the first time this year [2018] on a Martumili KJ (Kanyirninpa Jukurrpa) trip. I went hunting there, got a parnajalpa (sand goanna).

When I went there I was pukurlpa (happy). It made you open up your spirt, it feels like home. It’s got kapi (water) there, a well, jurnu (soak) and tuwa (sandhills)” Kaalpa is a place of great cultural significance, is also referred to as Well 23 on the Canning Stock Route. It is a good hunting place as there is permanent kapi.
