A sensory and sentient response to the physical landscape of Upernavik in Greenland. Leaving behind the darkness and coldness of the winter polar-night and moving into spring's midnight sun is transfigurative, in the sense that everywhere becomes illuminated with light. Transfiguration for the ancients, in this sense, the Thule people, could be found in liminal spaces (Death and Transfiguration IV), a space within ourself, where we see everything as it truly is, as matter becomes transfigured with spirit.
