Those who know me well know about my fondness for Salish Sea orcas. Throughout the pandemic, I became even more enamored by them. I observed orcas through online whale watching streams, tracked their progress as an endangered species, and celebrated the births of new members of their pods. With so much attention paid to them, they entered my dreams. I had a vivid dream in purple tones where the Salish Sea orca population was vital and healthy. This piece depicts a part of that dream. -Rachel Smith
