Cultural warning: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are advised that the following contains the name of a deceased person.

‘He is the rainmaker. He controls the weather. In our lore, the Wandjina, with the help of the dreamtime snake, helped the boss Wandjina to create the world when the world was soft. Before going back to the spirit world, the Wandjinas painted their images on the rock and in the cave walls. Their eyes red like the eye of the cyclone. The lines and dots around the Wandjina’s head can mean a lot of things like rain, lightning, clouds.’ – Artist's statement
