These shades of blue represent all these streams of water that are reuniting and coming together from all the four corners, each stream is bringing its own hue, texture, saturation, contamination, trauma, nutrient, lack of nutrient...etc but in the union of them all there is the immensity and calmness of the big Oceans that we call Niisdou, which literally means the calm and immense waters.
