"Tingari" (1996) by Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri is a striking example of Australian Aboriginal art.

The intricate pattern of dots forms concentric circles and wavy lines that evoke the ancient stories and landscapes of the Tingari, a powerful ancestral being in Warlimpirrnga's culture. The artwork’s powerful visual language speaks to the ongoing connection between the land and the spirit world, a crucial aspect of Indigenous Australian art.
