Abstract
The brick wall represents forging a new path, with a boat sailing toward Europe. The tree has a face in it, based on a Crow Indian story about the Grandfather Tree. The two magpies have mated for life, and the Big Dipper represents a way of life on a Native American reservation.
The piece was inspired by the end of a personal relationship, which lead to a new found relationship with school. The artist, who grew up on the Crow Reservation in Montana, was also planning a trip to Europe.
