Tatum started painting the ant hills as its a big part of the Kimberly region but it also has alot of meaning to her and her family; her ancestors were placed in anthills when they passed away.
Her Jaru family believe ant hills are for healing, you get rubbed down with the ant hill, and after you wash it off you feel refreshed, it takes away sickness and bad luck.
