Photographer Honza Řeháček and Mosaic Artist Anna Solnechnaya have collaborated on a project that turned one of the most popular photos of the Instagrammer’s Wolf Dog Sitka into a portrait made entirely of pebbles.

Kopernikk Sitka Pebble Mosaic

As an animal lover, I’ve been following photographer Honza Řeháček on social media as he documents his special relationship with his Wolf dog named Sitka. Capturing beautiful and heart warming photos in exotic locales as they travel together, he’s published a very personal book of their adventures divided into six chapters and accompanied by more than 120 photos on 176 pages.

With 506k followers on Instagram, I’m clearly not the only one who enjoys admiring the inspiring photos of the relationship between man and wolf-dog. Russian artist Anna Solnechnaya, who creates mosaics with pebbles, teamed up with Řeháček to create a special piece of one of the most popular and iconic photos of Sitka.

Anna, who goes by @anna.sun.art on Instagram, not only shared the stunning final piece, but documented the process which we are thrilled to share with you because it’s amazing to watch something like this come to fruition.
