The Hood and the Whale is a six-piece visual series from the Inner Vast collection, exploring scale, solitude, and silent connection.
Each image depicts a hooded figure standing alone in a vast, barren landscape, gazing upward as a colossal whale drifts through the sky. The whale — patterned, celestial, and impossible — becomes both guardian and question, hovering between dream and reality.
The hooded figures remain anonymous, acting as stand-ins for the viewer. They do not act, speak, or reach — they simply witness. The series invites stillness, contemplation, and a sense of being small beneath something ancient, gentle, and unknowable.
This is not a narrative of action, but of presence.
