Ciril Jazbec: Leona 2 (from the series SILA: Between the Ice and Sky), 2024

This striking portrait shows a young Inuit girl, Leona, shortly after taking part in an ancient seal hunting ritual in the Uummannaq Ice fjord in northwest Greenland. As Ciril Jazbec explains, ‘For Leona, this moment was a rare opportunity to witness and participate in a traditional way of life, a way of life that may soon be lost to the warming world.’
