This cavern-like tunnel holds a large body of water, and is the the physical representation of a dream􀆟me story in which a man is speared through the torso as punishment for a crime. This tunnel represents the hole in the man's body after being speared. Cynthia has inherited this story from her grandmother, renowned artist Tjawina Porter.
