Description

Suspended between air and ocean, Take A Breath reveals a perspective few ever witness, massive humpback whales moving with ethereal grace through Maui’s crystal waters. Captured from above, the scene juxtaposes scale and wonder: a tiny boat drifts on the threshold of these marine giants while a misty plume punctuates the surface as a whale releases its breath. This aerial moment balances documentary precision with abstract beauty, allowing viewers to drift between literal observation and emotional resonance.

As these majestic creatures break the ocean’s surface, their powerful presence reminds us of nature’s grandeur. These gentle leviathans exist at the boundary between two worlds, air and water, inviting us to consider our limitations and the horizons we might transcend. Through this aerial perspective, viewers can immerse themselves in the whales’ journey while the human element grounds us in our place within this magnificent natural spectacle.
