This self-portrait depicts the artist in the style of a biblical ‘Saint John, the Baptist'- a saint prophet immersed in water with traditional symbols of waterholes called Ngapi throughout her body. The streams of blood fall through her arms to her fingertips. A great river circles around her head from horizon to horizon. Her head is suspended on a field of multi-coloured dots. Her internal organs for her stomach and heart are exposed. ‘Flash' within the Noongar community is a reference for somebody who is ‘too big for their boots'.
