The translation of "Gwisgwaasgm Laxha" describes the break in the clouds after a storm or long period of cloudy days, when the blue sky can be seen. The circular nature of the canvas represents the whole of the visible sky. Metaphorically, it references the hope that comes with the re-learning the Ts’msyen language and culture.
