Diona was taught to paint this design by her mother-in-law Dapeni Jonevari, Chief of Emate clan women. The rows and circles are asimano'e - the heads of men. Dapeni explains how this design is uehorero (her own wisdom) and came to her in a dream. Diona has taken the design even further and has painted mahudano'e (pig's tusks - traditional Omie wealth) inside the men's heads. The surrounding streams of zig-zagging lines and curling offshoots are traditional soru'e (tattoo designs) known as taigu taigu'e (leaf pattern) and odunaigo'e (a climbing jungle vine with thorns and tendrils). The straight lines running through the painting are known as orriseege or 'pathways' which provide a compositional framework to the designs.
