The artist has painted a dreaming story from his country. The sedge grass used to build the fish trap is the same grass that artists still use today to paint rarrk or cross-hatching designs on their work. The fish traps were placed in creeks, channels and river mouths, catching fish such as barramundi, mullet, bream and catfish.
