EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate beauty of Tuqilaks, statues carved from whale teeth, in the stunning backdrop of Angmagssalik, Greenland. The Polar Regions have long been known for their unique and awe-inspiring art forms, and these contemporary carvings are no exception. In this outdoor setting, a small group of Tuqilaks is displayed in a row, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating each piece. Carved from whale bone with precision and skill, these statues serve as both souvenirs for travelers and works of art that reflect the rich cultural heritage of Greenland. The horizontal composition allows us to appreciate the delicate curves and patterns etched onto each individual carving. The smooth texture of the whale bone adds an organic element to this artistic display against the rugged landscape. Photographer Jack Jackson/Robert Harding has expertly captured not only the physical beauty of these Tuqilaks but also their significance within Greenlandic culture. Through his lens, we can almost feel a connection to both past traditions and present-day life in this remote region. This print serves as a reminder that travel photography can transport us to far-off places while also highlighting the remarkable diversity found across our planet's polar regions.
