Thanks Mum 2020

A mother humpback whale rises slowly from the depths, guiding her newborn calf toward the surface. With a gentle but insistent push, she lifts it into air and light, teaching it its first essential act: how to breathe. The ocean holds them in suspension for a brief, luminous moment—instinct, protection, and knowledge passed through touch rather than words. This scene becomes a meditation on guidance and survival. Gradients of deep blue dissolve into the sky, emphasizing the threshold between immersion and emergence.
