This artwork shows one type of spiritual being found in Australian Indigenous Art called Mimih from Arnhem Land in northern Australia. These beings are not only a common subject in rock art, but their folklore describes them as living in the crevices of rock. “Art has always been an important part of Aboriginal life, connecting past and present, the people and the land, and the supernatural and reality.” acknowledgement by Australian Government.
