This is a handcrafted linocut print inspired by a Scottish, Irish and Icelandic folktale. A seal-woman’s pelt is stolen, tethering her to the human world, until the moment she reclaims it and finds her way back to her ocean home. The Selkie’s story honors the deep, untamed currents within us all—the wild, instinctual self that can be buried, lost, or taken. It reminds us to trust what stirs when we reclaim our wild pelts, the quiet power that pulls us toward our own becoming and our ocean home.

This can be bought at a slightly reduced price as a set of three Selkie prints in a separate listing.
