About this Artwork

In this striking piece by Dean Stanton, an individual inside a small submarine reaches out toward a majestic whale, offering a simple card marked with a heart. The bold colours and signature black lines amplify the emotional connection between human and marine life, creating a vivid reminder of the responsibility we share for the health of our oceans.

The submarine’s spotlight gently illuminates the whale, symbolizing awareness—shining a light on the urgent need to protect fragile underwater ecosystems. The heart card becomes a universal gesture of care, representing compassion, respect, and the hope that our actions can help preserve ocean biodiversity for generations to come.

Through its playful yet deeply intentional style, this artwork invites viewers to reflect on the powerful bond between humanity and the natural world. It encourages us to choose empathy, take action, and support ongoing efforts in ocean conservation.
