Into The Wild

“This piece centres around the instinctive connection humans have with wildlife and their relationship with the native flora and fauna. To introduce this, the wolf and woman represent power and family, which sit against a backdrop of sprawling BC forest. Beside them is the B.C’s floral emblem adopted in 1956, the pacific dogwood flower. To round off the piece is the Kermode bear or ‘spirit bear,’ an endangered species that also holds cultural significance as an emblem of the B.C. The native bee, a critical component in the natural ecosystem, together with these elements represent an ecosystem worth looking after and conserving for future generations to come.”
