Never taken to the sea Acrylic

Never Taken to the Sea (Acrylic on A2-sized 400 gsm card framed in a basic black/white frame and hand-packed in a padded box)

Nunavut girls stand on a cold beach, framed by the quiet strength of northern mountains.
Never Taken to the Sea is a tribute to those who were only ever told they weren’t enough—
shaped by sharpness before they could speak,
their brilliance overlooked by blind eyes,
their achievements met with silence.

Still, they mother suns from frozen ground.
Unblessed. Unpaid. Unbroken.

This work honours the women who raised children without signatures or support,
who stopped seeking permission or applause
from rooms that never clapped. Signed and dated with a certificate of authenticity.
