The Lifebone (2023)
The Lifebone is a speculative project that sprawns from a research on the pelvic bone of whales.
If a whale strands on land, the lifebone should be returned back to the ocean.
This is to ensure that the spirit of the whale does not become lost on land.
If the lifebone is returned back to the ocean, the reincarnation of the whale is certain.
The question we ask is:
what if the whale was a deeply respected, sacred being in the society of Iceland?
