Through the Kelp

Through the Kelp captures a dramatic moment of pursuit as two orcas chase a sea lion through dense kelp beds. Carved from yellow cedar and finished with acrylic paints, the piece conveys a sense of flowing motion and urgency. The sea lion runs the gauntlet of survival, weaving through the kelp as predator and prey move in a high-speed dance. The carving emphasizes movement and tension, drawing the viewer into the raw energy of life beneath the surface.
