Lullaby
Artist Notes:
In our busy lives, it's all too easy to overlook the profound impact we can have on the environment and the creatures we share it with. It was during one of my night free dives, immersed in the depths of the ocean, that I sought out this moment of natural interactions. Armed with a dive torch, its alluring light cutting through the darkness, I delved into the unknown, curious to discover what mysteries would unveil themselves.
And there it was, a mesmerising encounter that defied expectations. Emerging from the depths of the darkness, a curious squid ventured into the light, drawn by the glow. In that surreal moment, it found solace in the palm of my hand, a delicate connection between our worlds. Its tentacles gently brushed against my skin, a tangible reminder of the fragile bond we shared.
In the presence of this creature, time seemed to suspend. The squid's trust and curiosity were a humbling reminder of our responsibility to tread lightly and protect the habitats we encounter. We possess the power to shape their future, for better or for worse.
In capturing this moment, I hope to ignite a spark of consciousness within each viewer. May it serve as a gentle nudge, reminding us of the impact we wield and inspiring us to tread more lightly, to cherish and protect the delicate balance of life that thrives beneath the surface. Let us embrace our role as guardians of this wondrous planet, and may future generations inherit a world where such breathtaking encounters continue to flourish.
