This small, stylized sculpture of a human figure, carved from stone, is a testament to the artistic talent of the Inuit people. Created around 1980, the sculpture reflects the traditional Inuit aesthetic of simplified forms and expressive lines. The artist captures the essence of human form with a focus on the body's curves and proportions. The sculpture's compact size suggests intimacy and connection, typical of Inuit art. The smooth, gray stone surface enhances the sculpture's tactile qualities, inviting viewers to engage with the artwork on a personal level. The work, currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, exemplifies the enduring legacy of Inuit art and its continued impact on contemporary art.

For thousands of years, Inuit people in Alaska and Canada have been carving smooth, sometimes haunting and whimsical sculptures out of bone, walrus ivory, wood, and stone. Inspired by the world around them, artists depict the people, animals and things they encounter in their daily lives and rituals.
