Swimming and eating a diet of seafood, the Sea Wolf is genetically distinct from inland wolves living in the same area. They are a creature which exists at the boundary of two worlds, said to live with “two paws in the ocean and two paws on land.” Living most of my life in San Jose—between San Francisco and Santa Cruz, not-quite- city not-quite- suburb—and feeling out of place in most categories, I’ve long been interested in liminal spaces and states of overlap. The Sea Wolf is emblematic of this territory: a wild, nomadic creature, whose only home is in-between.
