Human/Animal


This piece was inspired by a trip I went on last summer with my family to Cape Cod. We went on a whale watch, and there was one young humpback that came up to the boat, rolling around slowly in the water and looking at us with his big eye. He was so close that you can smell his breath, stinky like old fish! The tour guide talked about how whales exhibit this kind of behavior around any new object and was probably not looking at the people on the boat, but I couldn't help but think that the whale must have seen and heard these strange creatures on the floating thing... and what did we look like to him?
