Artist Statement: The heads of four salmon are depicted, symbolizing the completion of the life cycle of salmon. The circles in this design symbolize a full cycle, while the crescents emanating from the salmon's eyes are simultaneously ripples of water and sound waves emanating from Coast Salish drums singing of salmon.
