Dreamlike qualities of Thunderbird emerge from the starry night sky, enchanting one's imagination. Thunderbird blends optically as a two-dimentional, painted night sky, and yet on second look is actually a three-dimentional relief carving, shifting and changing perspective with every viewpoint.

"Thunderbird was so huge that it covered the sky when it flew from one end of the world to the other. It created thunder, and as it looked down upon us lightning came from its eyes. I wondered where Thunderbird went at night? What did it look like? So this is a response to my questions." - Cecil Dawson, Kwakwaka'wakw Nation
