The work features a red seal shaman at its centre, symbolizing transformation and the connection between humans and animals in Inuit cosmology. Surrounded by a blue outline that suggests both protection and permeability, the work includes four bird heads on each side, creating rhythm and presence, with human figures at the top and bottom to emphasize the connection between realms. Bold colours and symbolic forms convey a dynamic narrative that bridges memory, myth, and lived experience.
