Arctic Heroes – Off Season
During Greenland’s brief summer, sled dogs stay chained, waiting for the snow that gives their strength purpose. A silent longing for winter — for motion, meaning, and the frozen world they were born to pull through.

About Artist
Rafał Pikiewicz
I am a photographer for whom the image is a form of storytelling. I work with landscape, nature, and narrative and documentary photography, focusing on spaces shaped by human presence — quiet, often overlooked places where meaning reveals itself gradually. In my projects, I explore the relationship between humans and their environment, the memory of place, and the traces left by human activity. My work is grounded in simplicity of form, subtle light, and atmosphere, leaving space for interpretation rather than offering fixed answers.
