At the crest of the canvas, a whale leaps freely from the ocean, symbolizing nature’s resilience and untamed beauty. Below, an oil tube—representing human industry—spills its contents, seeping downward into the lower half of the composition. Here, the once-majestic whale is sullied by an inescapable tide of pollution, a stark reminder of the fragile balance between thriving marine ecosystems and human impact. The contrasting imagery reflects the conflict between untouched splendor and the destructive impact of human action. The piece serves as a metaphor for humanity's relationship with nature—where awe and exploitation coexist. It also challenges viewers to reflect on the choices that affect the world around us.
