This year I got to spend my birthday doing what I love so dearly 🤩 I want to thank Pelin Keskin for trusting me with her vision, and the whole team for concentrating their talents on this project. Credit to @kiacooks and @a_____liu for the photo and video I pirated 🤠

The Squamish people named these falls Kwékwetxwm. Legend has it, a giant two-headed serpent named Sínulhka carved the path for these falls through the face of ancient rock, slithering from sea to land - eerie cries echoing throughout the serpent’s trail. Xwechtáal, a young warrior tasked with slaying the dreaded serpent, bathed in the Kwékwetxwm waters, singing to strengthen his mind, body, and soul. After four years entranced, only seeing the serpent in his dreams, it appeared before him and they began communicating through their eyes. The serpent taught Xwechtáal many lessons, to make their battle a fair fight. Finally, he slayed the serpent as it rested, and returned home transformed through struggle, having restored balance to the land and people.
