TEMOSEN Charles Elliott: Message

Message: A Closer Look

“ The next one over there is Message, it's called – that little one there – and it's a conversation between the orca and mankind in general.”

“And the man in the picture, the generic female, male, whatever, people would say, oh, it's a woman. Oh, it's a man. To me, it doesn't really matter. It’s a person.”

“And the person is trying to say to the orcas or from the seas that we’re sorry for what we've done to you and we're going to try to make things right.”

 

“And that's my hope. That's my wish, personally, that we can try to right the wrongs.”
