Here’s a hi-res (3888×2592 pixels) Zenwalk Linux wallpaper.
I would like to respectfully acknowledge Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation who are the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land I currently reside.
Using traditional Australian Aboriginal symbols, the image depicts the future dreaming of man leaving the cradle of humanity. The concentric circles the ‘campsites’ or colonies as man takes to the stars. Undulating patterns mirroring trials and tribulations persist in following the journey. The U shapes of mankind identify a new civilization emerging in the stars.
The background image is a Hubble Space Telescope shot of the Orion Nebula.
Created using the GIMP opensource image editing software on Zenwalk Linux.

Note: I am not of Aboriginal descent and do not claim to understand the complexities and full symbolism of traditional Aboriginal art. I hope that by learning more about the Aboriginal culture and art I can gain a greater appreciation and understanding.
Really cool wallpaper. Did you go on and learn some more about aboriginal art? Seems pretty cool. Most native traditional art from the likes of Oceania, Africa and South America use bright colors and interesting symbolism, whereas our own oil paintings in Europe were stale and dull
Renaissance and Baroque is impressive, but i find this kind of paintings far more interesting, personally.
