Inspiration Behind Kun: In Xaayda Kil (the Southern Haida language), the word for baleen whale is Kun, which isalso the word for "point" or "bump."

"In this design, I've chosen to have the whale's dorsal fin (point/bump) breaking the water's surface in reference to this duality in meaning. The design elements in the light green area around the whale imply movement in the water and the prevailing ocean currents. I've used single line hatching to represent baleen in the whale's mouth and cross-hatching as the air bubbles released as it dives. The colour pallete was chosen to reflect the various colours and tones of the ocean."
