Breath explores the connection between humanity and the natural world. The whale, a creature whose life depends on the constant exchange between ocean and air, reflects the human presence below. Together, they suggest that beneath the surface of our differences lies a deeper connection that unites all living things—a reminder that we are not separate from nature, but part of the same cycle of breath, movement, and life.
