Run, Salmon, Run

The image features an Alaskan mask with striking colors and patterns, prominently centered against a backdrop suggestive of salmon swimming upstream, evidenced by elongated, fish-like shapes in motion on a light blue panel. The mask itself has a fierce yet serene expression, with red and white painted details, and is adorned with feathers around the head, framed by a vertical structure with orange dot patterns on the sides.
