The two lines above the Willy Willy are the winds coming from the east. The two lines on the bottom of the Willy Willy are the winds coming from the West. The centre represents the Willy Willy itself. The lines on the left and the right hand side of the Willy Willy represents the current of the tide. On both sides of the bottom of the Willy Willy the little circles represents the water spraying up in the air. Source: Rushida’s story of the painting in part as told to Helen Read
