Xavier Wunupingu after Initiation (Dhapi)
Liz Thompson
portrait
Xavier Wunupingu went through Initiation. His face has been ritually sprayed with paint, the sacred Sugar Bag Dreaming Design he had painted on him is almost erased and he is being returned to his female relatives by the Djunkay (guardians) responsible for his journey to manhood. He has been through Dhapi now: the sacredness is in there.
