It’s actually a really common technique called pointillism. While this particular pattern may remind you of something aboriginal, it is just a neat landscape inspired pattern using pointillism. So sharply labeling something as aboriginal and then strongly demanding everyone order from Australia is a bit over the top. I’m not saying it doesn’t draw inspiration but if we had to support every source of inspiration for all the patterns and designs we use, it would be madness.
