Description

A stylized figural representation of two Inuit figures at the centre of the composition. Both figures are wearing tradition parkas, with a man on the left and a woman on the right, with the form of a stone inukshuk between them - each figure is placing an oblong stone on the top edge of the stone marker. The man and woman are represented in black with white highlights, and the stacked forms of the inukshuk are in variegated brown and black tones with white hash marks. The print is signed "Pitalouisa" in pencil, in the lower right below the image with Inuit syllabics in black ink, in the upper right corner.
