“Echo” shows two gold whales that feel both playful and striking at the same time. Their shiny surfaces immediately catch your eye, almost looking like a photograph, but as you get closer you start to see the coloured pencil marks and realise the level of detail involved. You can even spot the artist’s reflection softly captured in the whales’ mirrored bodies, adding a personal, human touch to the piece. The two forms seem to face and respond to each other, suggesting a quiet connection—like an echo bouncing back and forth. There’s a sense of fun and curiosity here, but also a clever illusion that makes you look twice. It’s a piece that invites you in, rewards a closer look, and leaves you smiling.
