Davidson's latest print release, sk'ug sdang (Two Dog Salmon), is about the hope that we can change direction from global annihilation to a more balanced way of life. These two dog salmon symbolize the last stage of their life as they swim upstream to lay their eggs, ensuring another generation of dog salmon to be born. It has become more and more present-day civilizations' responsibility to ensure they will return again and again for future generations.

Sisters of the Underworld is a Haida myth that refers back to long ago when the earth was flooded. Dogfish, being a voracious eater, gave birth and when food was scarce, she would eat her young. However, this mother let her young live in her mouth, allowing them to feed from her. The sisters were survivors of that time and now dwell in the underworld as spirits, still celebrating the first mother.⁠

"The bottom lip is black and represents darkness. The upper lip is bright red representing the light within us. Raven brought back to the world light from the dark. He shared with us his stories, knowledge and teachings. Having this dark side and also seeing the light side of us brings the balance back to life." - Reuben Mack
