Description
Located on Prince Leopold Island, Nunavut, the rugged & rocky terrain dances with depth and texture. Along the shore, weathered whale bones rest among fragments of rock released from the towering cliffs above. The contrast is striking: ancient sedimentary layers formed beneath prehistoric seas, beside the remains of a whale that once travelled the modern Arctic Ocean. Shaped by frost, erosion and time, both stone and bone have become part of the same evolving northern landscape.
