Story Behind This Mural

Artist Statement

"The figure represents the capitalist top 1% dining on the very last of the coho salmon due to decades of overfishing and choosing profits for now instead of sustainability for the future, neck-deep in rising seas due to the climate change that he chooses to deny and ignore. This is sadly the way we are headed without real change."

The Focus

Overfishing and rising sea levels
