Balance

Balance Rock, a glacial erratic deposited on this shale beach of Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands) has borne witness to 10,000 years of pounding waves from Hecate Strait. Thunderbird Moon looks to the future, while the human infant form at the point of equilibrium symbolizes the balance between Eagle and Raven, the two clans of the Haida Nation. Here a culture, art and geology are in harmony.
