Ezekiel Serrano Artwork:
The Salmon design is called “Timeless” and is a symbol of abundance, fertility and rejuvenation. Timeless because the egg at the center is generations to come and the salmon swimming around it like a clock that is timeless and keeps going.

The Whale design is called “Way of Life” and is a symbol of the family in health and wellness by living traditional lifestyles. The whale represents good health and longevity and the design on the bottom is like a basket that keeps our families united.
