This work forms part of Goldner's series Do brumbies dream in red?, which was produced in the wake of the catastrophic 2019–20 bushfires that traumatised large parts of the Australian landscape. Drawing on the symbolism of the Snowy Mountain brumby, this series does not include any images of fire, but rather focuses on what is left in the wake of bushfire. In this image, a lone grave is surrounded by charred ground, and what might once have been rolling hills, home to wild brumbies, are now barren and foreboding.

Also known as Giclee prints or bubble-jet prints, pigment ink-jet prints are generated by computer printers from digital or scanned files using dye-based or pigment-based inks. A series of nozzles spray tiny droplets of ink onto the paper surface in a precise pattern that corresponds to the digital image file. In dye-based prints the ink soaks into the paper, whereas in pigment-based prints the ink rests and dries on top of the paper surface.
Whilst the term is broad, pigment ink-jet prints have come to be associated with prints produced on fine art papers. They are the most versatile and archival method of printing available to photographers today. A wide variety of material on which an image can be printed with such inks are available, including various textures and finishes such as matte photo paper, watercolour paper, cotton canvas or pre-coated canvas.
