Aquatic Symbiosis - Cosmic Leviathan Over Tidal City - Poster

In Aquatic Symbiosis, a traveller and a giant meet in quiet surroundings. A little skiff glides down a still channel, while needle-thin towers catch the pale sunlight ahead. To the right, a vast, intricately patterned leviathan rises from the cliffs, with spheres circling it like young ones. The scene is peaceful, but there’s a sense of energy beneath the surface. Their difference in scale tells the story, while the water brings every element together. And yes, that fish is enormous. We checked.

Colour gives the scene its rhythm. Deep teal and blue-green ground the water and rock, while a soft yellow disc opens up the sky and adds warmth without overpowering the image. Layered arabesque lines bring together coral-like forms and mechanical details, with the feel of an antique engraving. Repeated circles suggest moons, setting up a steady beat and a gentle sense of orbit. Your eye travels from the bright reflection to the city, then follows the creature’s contours back around. The open space around the sun keeps the composition balanced, a calm fit for the pared-back interiors often found in New Zealand homes.
