Piece description from the artist
In the gentle glow of the Natural History Museum's grand hall, the majestic skeleton of the blue whale floats serenely in mid-air. This awe-inspiring centrepiece, suspended beneath the cathedral-like arches, invites visitors into a world where the marvels of nature and the elegance of architecture unite. Here, beneath the intricate iron and stonework, the timeless dance of life and history captivates the imagination and stirs the soul. The composition of this photo is intended to get the whole skeleton of the blue whale from the side so the viewer can better see the scale and the complexities of the animal in all its magnificent forms.
