Juneau artist Crystal Worl's striking blue, white and pink artwork on an Alaska Airlines jet features images of sockeye salmon using traditional formline design. The aircraft is named Xáat Kwáani — a Tlingit phrase that translates to “Salmon People.”
Worl said she saw the aircraft for the first time Wednesday.
Worl said in her design, a pink line goes into the mouths of the salmon and wraps around the nose of the plane, representing a breathing line or lifeline — the beginning of oxygen, water and elements that flow and absorb into the salmon as they migrate. The salmon on the tail and tips of the wings have salmon eggs in them, which represent learning from the salmon about the next generation, she said.
