Echoes - a voice from uncharted waters

Echoes - a voice from uncharted waters is an interactive sound-and-light work that invites us to look and listen closely. The installation – a massive, colourful representation of a whale – symbolizes our blue planet’s flora and fauna. It asks us to consider the impact of our everyday activities on nature and the environment, making us more aware of their fragility. Interacting respectfully with the marine mammal’s vital space takes us into an enigmatic melodic world. But when you get too close, a sound calls out to you. Can you perceive the line you must not cross to protect the whale? The installation is a meditation on our harmful invasions of Earth’s ecosystems.
