This artwork carries multiple layers of symbolism. Both cows and whales, being mammals, fall prey to the relentless impact of humanity. However, the fate of whales is more uncertain, as their population steadily declines. The photograph raises the question of who is the true inhabitant of this place: whales or cows?
Yet, the main message of this piece revolves around how humans destroy nature. In this interpretation, the whale, seemingly diving into the earth, becomes a symbol of how humanity harms the environment. Meanwhile, cows remain, becoming indispensable sources of food for humans. This artwork invites us to reflect on our impact on nature and take responsibility for its preservation.
