The radiant heat of trees, directing fresh snow fall into sublimination at its roots. The place this little bird took rest. Near the ingress of a mouse hole.

“My roots are firmly planted in the very soil that my ancestors are buried in...anywhere you open the earth there is evidence...it is written in the earth” - Debra Sparrow. This is the ‘Fraser River Park’. Traditional Musqueam territory. A site of the Salish village “Tsusnaham”. A site of land grabs and abuses. I spent some time here recently doing field studies, unpacking histories and considering land memory, public memory and the gross negligence of industries & governments. Additional photo documentary is viewable via the link in my bio.
