Moon Sky: Raven

2025 · Fine silver coin with hologram — reverse design · 38 mm · Royal Canadian Mint

“In the crafting of the Raven in the Night Sky coin, I aimed to embody the dual nature of our being — the tangible and internal. The engraved raven, grounded with vivid detail and reminiscent of the landscapes of my home, speaks to our solid and discernible selves. Above, the holographic raven takes flight, its wings vibrant and entrancing like our legends passed down through generations; it is our creativity that we nurture, which births our boundless inner worlds. I drew from the period of my childhood when I was developing my sense of self in Nunatsiavut, where even the smallest details mean everything. Nature, in all its power and grace, both deserves and demands full attention; this instilled an inclination to capturing details as a way to share and connect with my community. I always strive to be genuine in my art, feeling that authenticity is the only way to truly be understood, and through it, I hope to share my experience.”
