The Narwhal
The reverse features two narwhals moving through the waters in Canada’s Arctic region. In the foreground, an adult narwhal remains partially submerged as it lifts its head a bove water through an opening between the ice floes; its spiralled tusk naturally draws the viewer’s eye upwards to the tapered point, which is extended towards the sky. Beneath the water’s surface, the mottled narwhal uses its convex tail fins to propel its movements, curving its sleek body to provide lift as it surfaces. Swimming alongside the adult is a juvenile narwhal; armed with its ownsmall tusk, this young narwhal remains submerged as a trail of air bubbles are released from the blowhole atop its domed head. Its presenceis both touching and meaningful, symbolising hope for the continued survival of this mysterious and captivating species in a changing Arctic landscape.
