My Ore to You 3D-2D
This artwork represents the workers hunters, gatherers, and fishermen who provide for their family. When a hunter goes into the wilderness they are thinking of family, relatives and those unable to provide for themselves.
The ore, qayaq, and hunting implements are no different today as they serve the same purpose but with efficient tools.
The dangers are still there, as they have for thousands of years. They put themselves at risk, as the wilderness is always unpredictable.
Their love for family is sharing what nature has provided for thousands of years under Ellam Yua's care. In the honor of all our men and women who provide for their families – Quyana Cak’neq!
