IKKUMA

 The fundamental theme of Ikkuma is global warming and its impact on the Arctic ecosystem. While initially portrayed as a story of brutality and revenge, the narrative slowly pans out to show the futility of these personal struggles against the very real forces of nature and manmade climate change.  Ikkuma is the Inuvialuit word for fire, a central theme to our work and a stark visual contrast against the whites, greys, and blues of the frozen wastes.
