Salmon Souls was inspired by the life cycle of salmon, not only how they grow from eggs to maturity, but how they return to the same spawning spot where they were born after travelling out to the ocean and back. A collaboration between Sarah Zimmerman, a settler living in Terrace on unceded Ts’ymsen territory, and Gitxsan/Nisga’a artist Jaimie Davis, Salmon Souls speaks to the importance of salmon to northwestern BC. Davis’ hallmark salmon eggs in traditional northwest coast First Nations formline, are featured at the bottom of the water elements and traditional trout head shapes, dot the sky elements of the piece. A nod to the evolution of both the physical and spiritual.
