Snake

A reclusive genius who retreats into the woods to create.

Justin Vernon, the artist behind Bon Iver, is famous for withdrawing to a remote Wisconsin cabin in the dead of winter to record 'For Emma, Forever Ago' — an act of almost mythological solitary introspection. He is intensely private, deeply meticulous about his craft, and consistently recoils from the excesses of celebrity and the mainstream music industry. Like the snake, he keeps a low profile, is profoundly misunderstood by casual observers, and channels obsessive creative focus into art that feels both fragile and precisely constructed.
