Sedna

This Eisbock is a tribute to the Sea life represented by Sedna, the Inuit (Eskimo) goddess of the sea and marine animals, especially mammals such as seals, walrus and whales. She is also known as the Mother of the Sea or Mistress of the Sea. She resides and rules over Adlivun, the Inuit underworld. She is worshipped by Inuit hunters, who depend on her will to supply food.

The label features Sedna as central character. Her body skin is made out of a real cod skin standing for the sea live and its beautiful aesthetics. The illustration of Sedna is concise and direct just like the Inuit folk tales. She is big and simple in her shapes, and totally dominates the composition of the label. The idea of the seal-like body is not to pursue a realistic portrayal, but to make a representation of the Sedna’s body providing the same function as Inuit carved sculptures of her and other folkloric beings - a symbol for something far greater. With her hair and her body Sedna is embracing the landscape consisted of the Sea and the Northern lights emphasizing her character of the ruler of the sea. Show Less
