STARPATH
Poetic Soundscape | 7 mins | 2021
An Inuk woman looks out at the expanse of her life, tracing her spirit's trajectory across the horizon and the cosmos. Precarious safety and compounded loss in a colonial world have cast her to obscurity - where, as a being in dark matter, she re-forms. Guided by 90377 Sedna, the largest planetoid in the outer reaches of our solar system (unknown until 2003 and named after the Inuit goddess of the sea), she embraces her gravitational force and returns with an ascendant dream of healing, held within the language and land of Denendeh.
