Summary

edit
Description
English: The Salish Sun - Heart of the Salish Sea Walk of the Planets Orrery. The eye is clearly and intentionally off-center symbolizing the imbalance in the Earth's biosphere and especially here in the Salish Sea.

The fish are herring, the critical fish needed by the food chain and now dangerously reduced from the billions that used to be here so few years ago.

Overall the circular shape is that of the Salish whorl used in Coast Salish Art. The Salish symbols dominate all objects in the iron sculpture.

The "Eye" will align with the rising sun on the summer solstice.
