Native American Art. 40" long, red cedar, hand carved and painted. A large striking wall panel with beautiful colours. Kwak'waka'wakw Indigenous art.
The red snapper is a great food source for Native communities. It symbolizes the bounty of the ocean and the importance of sustainable practices in maintaining this vital resource. The red snapper is a symbol of respect for the natural world and the interconnectedness of all living things.
The artist has been a commercial fisherman all of his life and has intimate knowledge of the creatures that live in the ocean. This knowledge combined with spiritual understanding received by participating in his Kwak'waka'wakw culture is reflected in this carving.
