Artist Statement :
"This is a depiction of the four source elements constant through the life cycle. The fish represents water, the bear land, the bird air, and the sun and sky represent fire. Roy chose a grey palette for this print as a symbol of the old continuing tradition." (statement provided by Pacific Editions)
