Small In A Big Blue
 
Small in a Big Blue captures a tender moment between a southern right whale mother and her calf as they move slowly north through the open waters off Budgewoi Beach, near Norah Head. Surrounded by an endless expanse of blue, the pair appear almost weightless, a quiet reminder of how even the largest lives can feel small within the vastness of the ocean.
 
Photographed only days after the mother and calf were struck by a boat, the image carries a deeper story of resilience and survival. Despite their recent encounter, they continue their journey together, the calf closely shadowing its mother in a moment of trust, protection, and perseverance.
 
The simplicity of the composition draws the eye to scale, space, and connection, an intimate scene set against an infinite backdrop. It is both peaceful and powerful, inviting reflection on vulnerability, strength, and the delicate balance of life in our oceans.
 
Perfect for ocean lovers, conservation supporters, and those drawn to minimalist beauty and emotional depth, Small in a Big Blue brings a sense of calm, meaning, and quiet reverence into any space.
 
Available as a museum-quality print or as a professionally framed artwork, each piece is carefully produced to preserve the subtle tones and atmosphere of the original moment. Whether displayed unframed or presented ready to hang, Small in a Big Blue offers a timeless connection to the ocean, gentle, expansive, and profoundly human.
