A transformation, in Inuit art and belief, represents the spiritual metamorphosis of humans into animals or between various animals. Rooted in the tradition that humans could travel between the physical and spiritual worlds, these transformations highlight the deep connection between humans, animals, and the natural world, where boundaries are fluid and interconnected.
