"The river of stars, Milky Way, represents what you see on the land. And it's what you can see in your spirit that you are traveling through that river of stars. The stars represent all the people, spirits taking you up. And the river itself represents the circle of the string [...] I think about the journey now, the land itself, how you relate to the land. And then on the land, there are people living. When they hunt there and hunt the land, when time comes, that river turns itself to interpret itself. It's a spiritual river and it takes you through that river." – Naminapu Maymuru-White
