A whale glides beneath a vessel, caught in the turbulence of sonar waves. The fluidity of watercolor contrasts the ocean’s vast serenity with the unseen dangers of human activity. Whales rely on sound to navigate, communicate, and survive. Increasing sonar use disrupts their world, causing disorientation, stress, and strandings. The delicate balance of marine life is being altered in ways still not fully understood. This piece evokes both wonder and concern, urging awareness of the unseen consequences of human technology and the need for more sustainable coexistence with ocean life.
