Introduction
![Whale](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-BxlsEDU1dTI/WQdPngolwKI/AAAAAAAALsY/1F4wEns0daQrKwPEFOP3S23FBcu4o36swCLcB/s0/U5dr5gwr1ns2f7BvRy1VM4Y9cSYn4WQ_1680x8400.jpg)
I was doing a research for the previous edition of #artchallenge and came across this piece. I thought: wow, what a piece. I had to show it to @aksinya and I agree with her that this would be interesting one for her #artchallenge.
My Interpretation
The artist has an art gallery, Kush Fine Art in Maui, Hawaii. Maui is a great place to see whales, There are operators who guarantee you to see a whale between mid-December to mid-April. I’m sure the artist had an chance to be exposed to whales in Maui and get to know them a little better compared to many of us who just know they are endangered specie.
Speaking of whales being endangered, have you seen the Star Trek movie with whales? This one:

In the painting, I’m pretty sure the artist painted a humpback whale which is the same type you get to see out of Maui. So, the message is quite simple to me. The artist wants to tell us to save the beautiful creature from being extinct and the message is simply:
All people put our hands together to Save the Whales.
Sound of the whale
Before you go, let me share with you a couple of video of from youtube. The first features mainly sound of the whale and the second feature a dance. Yes, dance. Enjoy!

That was my favorite Star Trek movie. Traveling to the past for whales to save the future. I like the Vladimir Kush piece. Really pretty.
Probably the only star trek movie with an environmental message. I kind of like it too.
Thanks for your comment
Very beautiful whales. The photos inspire and make me think about the meaning of life. At the same time, photos of whales scare me. I do not know why. Maybe because the blue whales are associated with a deadly game. In any case, thank you for the post. I really liked it.
You're welcome. Thanks for your comment
I like the message you highlight here from the artist. We should indeed do all that is possible to save the whales
Yes, we should do all we can. Thanks for your comment
