Here’s a quick rundown of how I put this piece together. This is different from others in a way that not a single photographic element was used. Even the landscape was completely computer-generated.

This work derives inspiration from a Greenlandic folktale which tells the story of two women escaping the thrashing of their husband and finding shelter inside a beached whale amid the frozen landscape.
