This ink drawing captures the dynamic energy of a pair of orcas breaching in unison, completed in 1 hour and 26 minutes. The composition emphasizes the orcas’ sleek forms and the dramatic splash as they emerge from the water.

Breaching is a behavior often seen in orcas, though its exact purpose is still a matter of study. Some scientists believe it could be a way for them to communicate, signal dominance, or even just for play and bonding. Known as apex predators, orcas are highly intelligent and social animals, living in tight-knit pods.

This piece seeks to capture not only the raw power of these creatures but also their graceful coordination, which reflects the strong social bonds they share in the wild.
