BEAUTIFUL BOND

This piece captures a special moment of a mother and daughter going up in a plane looking at the Southern Right Whale and her calf from above.

My client asked me to create a piece that reflected this special time they shared together.

The whale and her calf also represent the mother and daughter together in that moment and sharing beautiful bonding moments at the ocean.

The pattern in the water represents the mesmerizing and hypnotic movement of the ocean which fascinated the mother and daughter appreciated.

The whales are separated from the ocean with lines representing the pathway of the mother and daughters’ journey together.

The patterns inside the journey lines surrounding the whales represent the connection and bond between the two of them.

The shield on the back of the mother whale represents her mum still protecting, nurturing, and guiding her. The semicircular patterns inside the shield, represents the mum’s energy, wisdom, and knowledge that she has passed on and is still a part of the daughter.

Inside the shied are seed pods representing her family roots, birth and growth carrying through into the next generations.
