I lived for 5 years on Baffin Island and was always fascinated at the Inuit's wonderfully imaginative way of creating landmarks in a place that has very little in the way of natural markers (at least to this person who didn't spend a lot of time on the land to learn to see the landmarks). I am also enthralled with the spiritual nature of these structures. I wanted the perspective to create a feeling of how majestic the inukshuk is - when one is going somewhere, whether it be to a hunting area or home after a long journey the inukshuk guides you safely.
