This is lino print called Ngaw Amana Adh " (my mother's totem) is dedicated to my Late Mum .

The dhangal (dugong) is my sub totem which I inherited from Her.

 Whenever I carve a wooden dugong , pearl shell dugong, paint or carve a lino block of a dugong I would think of Her and have a spiritual connection.

 The background of the dugong is my personal designs I represent the out going tides we call in our language Kala Lagaw Ya "Kulis" (out going) and Guthath (in coming).
