Meaning of fabric design

“This story about all this manmeh (food), fruit and roots. It's about their growth. While walking, we can see this manmeh, bush food, like all yams. We go there as a family, we dig with a stick. Sometimes manwareh (bad), sometimes manmak - good, but that manmeh is everywhere and we eat all that bush food underground. - Jennifer Wurrkidj
