The Retreat at Soaring Eagle
I chose to do this piece because I want to bring more appreciation to animals we don’t see every day, like the animals that live deeper in the ocean and are rare sightings. I chose to portray the whale shark in my piece not just because it is my favorite species but also because they are endangered and it is important to preserve their habitat so future generations can also appreciate their beauty. I wanted to create a functional art piece that can be enjoyed any time. I used wood for the main structure of the piece and the whale shark. I represented the different layers of the ocean by using different shades of blue spray paint for each wood panel and painted the whale shark using acrylics.
