The Last Breath of the Coast

When a seal loses its mother, it's called a "pup." Because it calls—softly, but incessantly—until the sea answers or its strength gives out. On many coasts, their voices have become rarer. Storms, plastic, nets, boats—too many boundaries for a life that began in the rhythm of the tides. This work represents the vulnerability of beginnings. The moment when nature depends on us—and we decide whether we hear it.
