SDG 15

SDG 15 aims to protect, restore, and promote the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems. This goal focuses on halting deforestation, combating desertification, halting the loss of biodiversity, and protecting endangered species. It encourages sustainable land management, the conservation of natural habitats, and the restoration of ecosystems that provide essential services, such as clean air, water, and food. SDG 15 underscores the need to combat climate change impacts on land and preserve natural environments for future generations. By protecting life on land, we ensure the health and resilience of ecosystems that support all life on Earth.

Sky and snow, meeting our homes. A soft light touches everything. Familiar shapes, but a different feel in the air. The edge of our community, where the wild meets our lives. We watch, we remember, we see the subtle shifts in the world around our doors. This is our place, changing with the light.

Where the Snow Meets Our Homes

This is where we live. Our homes, nestled in the snow.

Sun on a Frozen Land

Sun and ice. We stand here, on the edge of forever. Where does the light lead us?

Snow and street. Our path, right here in town. Where does it lead? What will it look like tomorrow? The light on the snow, it tells a story. A story of change, even here, where we live. This isn't just a street; it's our future, covered in white, waiting to be seen.

My Arctic Street

This road, it’s our everyday path. We walk it, we drive it. It connects us.

Tread Marks on Thinning Ice

Rubber and frost meet, right here. Where have we been? Where are we going? That horizon…

A metal drum, dusted and fading, frames the edge of land and light. The sun breaks clean across an ice-locked horizon, distant yet grounding. Industrial memory sits in the foreground, silent but loaded. This is the balance: between use and loss, sky and surface, heat and cold, stillness and what is coming next.

Barrel Horizon

Oil heats our homes, but it also represents a cycle that’s melting the ground beneath us.

Edges of Ice

Ice rises like fingers sculpted in a moment of thaw—sharp, delicate, reaching toward the low sun. In this blur of focus, what is foreground and what is memory? A crystallized tension sits between presence and erosion, the dirt and grains trapped inside as witness. Nothing here is still, though everything looks like it might be.

Even in the heart of our community, winter's presence is felt. The school stands as a center of learning, surrounded by the enduring snow.

Through My Eyes: An Arctic Story

My photography is a reflection of the world I see, the world I’m growing up in, as an Inuit youth who grew up in Nunavut.
