Against the Flow

Project type

Wood Carving

Location

Summerland BC, Canada

Dimensions

Overall Sculpture: 15" H × 10" W × 30" L

Against the Flow depicts a spring salmon gliding upstream just above the rock line, driven by instinct and purpose. Carved from yellow cedar and finished with acrylic paints, the piece captures steady movement against the current. The salmon’s path speaks to determination and endurance, with its destination lying unseen but always ahead. This carving reflects the quiet strength found in persistence and the pull of home
