"Echoes of a Previous Song" is a captivating artwork that encapsulates the profound journey of humpback whales along their migration path, as they traverse the Australian coast towards their breeding grounds in the north. The song sung by today's whales as they migrate will have memories of whales that have long passed on this path. This piece pays homage to these majestic creatures who were hunted to the edge of extinction, only to witness their remarkable resurgence from endangered to vulnerable.
It invites viewers to reflect upon the fragile balance between humans and nature. It serves as a reminder that our actions can either harmonize with the natural world or disrupt its rhythm. The artwork conveys a sense of hope, suggesting that through collective efforts and conservation initiatives, we can restore the echoes of a previous song, allowing these magnificent creatures to thrive and inspire future generations.
