Now for the meaning and explanation for this powerful?
It is like a dream about heredity. My great Great grandmother was Jewish, but she was also from Lapland and came from/lived with the Saami people who were reindeer herders, or so goes the myth. I imagined this in a painting, looking over the scene as if I could go back in time and picture it/experience it.

I use garment patterns in my work a lot (I grew up as a pattern cutter in my family business) and arranged them to spell out Arctic Memory (as best I could in Hebrew). Behind me are the Northern Lights.
