Stolen Sealskin reimagines the enduring Selkie legend through an immersive installation that drifts between myth and memory.
The legend follows a shapeshifting seal-woman who becomes bound to land and severed from sea when her sealskin is stolen. Through moving image, sculpture and sound, Stolen Sealskin navigates autonomy, coercion, and biopolitics, drawing from folklore and cultural memory.
