A whale with a message, first made in 2008. Written on the lower side are lines from a poem, Oceans, by Juan Ramon Jimonez.

“I have a feeling that my boat has struck down there in the depths against a great thing.
And nothing happens!
Nothing ... silence .... waves .... nothing?
Or has everything happened and we are standing now, quietly, in the new life?”

Layered paint on a cedar whale, with a carved figure of poplar.
