Linda-Grace has painted soru’e - Ömie tattoo designs taught to her by her mother-in-law Fate Savari. The eight strings that run through the work have both mahudan’e and mahu ane bios’e (large and small pig’s tusks) attached which is the traditional wealth of Ömie people. The strings are also sprouting hin’e baje, fruit of the mustard plant, which is used to dip into the lime gourd as well as to aid in the chewing of betelnut, a very important Ömie social custom known as hai’ue. Between the strings and around the edges of the work are repetitious lines representing nyoni hano’e (fern leaves).
