Description by Artist: ”Spirits of Our Time” – This limited edition print captures the powerful symbolism of salmon swimming together in a unified direction, representing a collective journey. The vibrant red salmon at the forefront are bold and full of life, while behind them, the faint, ethereal figures of more salmon emerge — a delicate representation of spirits or ancestors, guiding the way toward a sustainable future.
The salmon, often revered as a symbol of strength, resilience, and connection to the earth, move in unison toward a green border, which serves as a powerful symbol of hope and renewal. The green represents a healthier, more sustainable future for our planet, one where biodiversity thrives and humanity works in harmony with nature.
This print is a reminder that, much like the salmon, we must swim together, unified in our efforts to protect the natural world. It speaks to the delicate balance between preserving tradition and embracing change, urging us to honor the wisdom of the past while forging a path toward a more harmonious future.
A celebration of unity, ancestral wisdom, and planetary stewardship, this print serves as a call to action for those who believe in the power of collective responsibility to protect and preserve the earth’s fragile ecosystems. – Rande Cook
