Sedna - Ice and Shaman / Bird Shaman, Man standing on Ice, supported by Sedna (Sculpture)

A Shaman in the shape of a human figure, but recognisable by the bird on its head, stands on a fragment of ice, supported by Sedna, depicting an image of humankind not as a ruler, but as a dependent, integrated and responsible. Air, land and water converge here, reminding us that survival and identity arise through relationship rather than dominance.
