She is neither wholly woman nor entirely bird, but something in between, caught in the liminal breath between two worlds. It’s a space Avaalaaqiaq knows intimately. A space her grandmother once filled with stories, where humans and animals slipped into each other’s skins without surprise or ceremony.Provenance
