Upstream Artwork Story

No matter which tribe and country we from, what story and skin, we are all in the same boat, we are in it together and we need to head upstream. We all have one basic truth, we want better for our future generations.

The different animals represent different tribes, the leaf is our vessel and the river is our current, the current of life, renewing, dying, but always constant. The white ripples around the leaf shows the movement of the current, never stagnant.
