    “An astronaut seen against the backdrop of space looks small, lost. A whale in space fills the mind's eye, transforming a vast expanse into a luminous sea. The void is no longer cold and empty, but populated by a consciousness that is both alien and familiar. Space becomes alive, a place of wondrous possibility.”
