About this artwork
“To the North” is a triptych that portrays the journey of three siblings as a metaphor for migration. Each figure embodies a facet of this experience: the young man with the snake tattoo symbolizes strength and resilience; the woman holding a lamb represents innocence and hope; and the man with the swallow tattoo evokes the instinct to seek new horizons. Together, they reflect the emotional and physical dimensions of migration — the need, the impulse,…
and the hope — forming a visual tribute to human endurance and family connection in the search for a new beginning.
