Dance of Migration depicts the literal metamorphic evolution life takes, highlighting the fluidity of life and identity to show how closely related we are to everything around us. Painting the Common Loon and the Sockeye Salmon are a nod to my Canadian roots as well as the resistance of community against ICE terrorism and the strength needed to swim upstream against a fascist and evil institution that perpetuates this pain. The symbols mirror my personal metamorphic changes as my identity shifts between water and air, rising above for a higher perspective then diving deep for feeling and insight. The circular composition illustrates the interconnection between all struggles for liberation and how supported we are by the earth in this evolution. The water and the air are indistinguishable from each other, one and the same, the ingredients to create life.
