Her gaze is far off to the side as she stares off outside her parka’s hood with mouth agape. With her ear exposed, we see the small figure of Sedna, quieting speaking to the woman. Is it a warning, a caution against someone or something? Or could it merely be some gossip, a story or detail about whatever has the figure’s attention?Provenance
