Little Brothers

Created during artist residency at GIL (GILFELAGID) in Akureyri, Iceland, 2022.

In a faraway land, on the cliff-tops of a distant island, a colony of Little Brothers congregates every summer. Year after year, they return to the island in pursuit of refuge and tranquility. Their journey is long and perilous, and only some will reach their destination. Nevertheless, Little Brothers brave stormy waters with courage and determination.

*The Atlantic puffin is a species of seabird in the genus Fratercula. In Latin “Fratercula” means “little brother” and is a reference to the black and white plumage; a color scheme characteristic for monastic robes.
