Do You Have It In You? (digital media and collage, 2022) by Rachel Gilbert.
Situated in Ktaqmkuk, Gilbert is an interdisciplinary artist whose symbolist work explores her identity, experiences, and ideas of home(s). Since receiving a BFA in Visual Arts in 2020 and a Graduate Certificate in Museum and Gallery Studies in 2021, Rachel has worked with several local art spaces focusing on community programming, inclusion, and outreach.

This is the second of an ocean-focused series, made possible by The Big Splash Fund. The next piece will be posted in two weeks.
