"Tingari Cycle" by Walala Tjapaltjarri radiates with luminescence, powerfully depicting Lake MacKay, the expansive salt lake straddling the Northern Territory and Western Australia border. This region was home to Walala and his family until 1984, when they chose to leave their ancestral land, becoming known as the Last of the Nomads.

The painting's intricate designs reflect the sacred and secretive nature of the Tingari Cycle, an essential part of Walala's cultural heritage. While specific details of the Tingari Cycle are not disclosed, the artwork captures the profound spiritual significance and connection to the land that defines these ancestral stories.

Walala’s use of vibrant yellow ochre colour and bold patterns brings the landscape to life, offering a glimpse into the sacred traditions and the powerful legacy of the Pintupi people. "Tingari Cycle" stands as a testament to Walala Tjapaltjarri's ability to blend traditional cultural elements with his unique artistic vision, preserving the rich history and spiritual essence of his homeland through his art
