Tote bag
He never takes off the silver chain. This arctic wolf tote bag features Benjamin wearing it around his neck, front-on, in his silver jacket against a mint-green background. He's from my Animal Kinhood series.

Canis lupus arctos
A route done well doesn't need you to explain it afterwards.
High Arctic tundra, exclusively north of the tree line: Queen Elizabeth Archipelago (Ellesmere, Axel Heiberg, Devon, Ellef Ringnes) in Canada and northern Greenland. A landscape of permanent permafrost without tree cover, with temperatures that swing between -50 °C in winter and 5-10 °C in the brief Arctic summer.
In his story, the silver chain Benjamin wears is the only thing that breaks up his grey, silver and white clothing. It's thin, simple links, its shine already worn. It was his father's, and he never takes it off, except when working with machinery, when he tucks it away safely so it doesn't catch. If anyone asks about it, he says it was a gift and changes the subject. It's one of those things that tells itself, or doesn't get told at all.
The tote is the object for carrying things around without making a fuss: groceries, fruit, jars on the way home. It suits Benjamin, who carries his own load without any drama. In the portrait, all you see is his friendly face and that chain; everything else goes inside. Measurements and material are on the purchase page, and his full story is in his biography.
