Kamuy – Guardian of the Wild Spirit
In Kamuy, Samuel Farrand pays homage to the Ainu people’s revered bear spirit — a guardian of the forest and a bridge between the human and divine realms. Emerging from the darkness, the bear’s gaze meets the viewer’s with calm, ancient knowing, its form woven from luminous tribal motifs and sacred geometric lines.
Copper and amber tones radiate from the design, glowing like embers in the night. Each curve and diamond-shaped ornament feels carved from myth itself, echoing the reverence the Ainu hold for nature’s fiercest yet most nurturing protector.
The artwork’s symmetry and fine detail transform Kamuy into more than a portrait — it is an emblem of spiritual strength, wild wisdom, and the interconnectedness of all beings.
If you’re drawn to shamanic symbols, animistic traditions, and animal totems, Kamuy offers a mesmerizing focal point imbued with cultural and spiritual depth.
