Between Mother & Sea
 
Between Mother & Sea captures a moment of quiet guidance as a southern right whale mother and her calf move together through the pale blue waters of Australia’s east coast. Seen from above, the calf swims just off the mother’s side, close enough to remain protected, yet far enough to begin learning independence. It is a delicate balance, held in space rather than contact.
 
This image speaks to transition. The calf is no longer sheltered beneath, yet not alone. It exists between two forces: the safety of its mother and the pull of the sea beyond. The simplicity of the frame allows this relationship to breathe, inviting the viewer into a moment of trust, movement, and quiet connection.
 
Created for ocean lovers, conservation supporters, and collectors drawn to minimalist imagery with emotional depth, Between Mother & Sea brings a sense of calm, direction, and reassurance into any space. It reflects the universal experience of being guided, close enough to feel safe, free enough to grow.
 
Available as a museum-quality print or as a professionally framed artwork, each piece is carefully produced to preserve the colour, balance, and serenity of the original moment. Whether displayed unframed or ready to hang, Between Mother & Sea offers a timeless meditation on guidance, growth, and the space where learning begins.
