Ikiaq Panikpak (a.k.a. Pak)

Ikiaq—known simply as Pak—has a deep reverence for stillness, the kind that precedes or follows a moment of change. With a handmade lens crafted from layered glass and bone, they photograph moments that most others miss: the last ripple of a pond after a pebble lands, the flick of moss in a breeze, or the second a smile falters into something more honest. For Pak, photography is not capture—it’s communion. They speak little but observe much. Their presence is often marked by the soft click of their shutter and a faint trail of boot prints through dew-covered grass. Pak tends to rise before the light, walking long stretches with no particular goal other than to be where beauty might happen. Their home is spare, filled with carefully stacked prints and string-bound albums, many of which are shared freely with those they photograph. They have no interest in perfection. Blurs, light flares, even the presence of dust are part of what Pak calls the “breath of the image.” They believe photographs aren’t for remembrance so much as re-encounter. When asked why they do it, Pak once replied, “Because nothing stays. But some things echo.”
