Perched here before us, the Whale Tale Sculpture whispers stories of the ocean. The Whale Tale Sculpture is more than just fiberglass; it’s a symbol of connection between humans and the marine world. Artist Jane Mason named this piece “Where You Belong – Ocean Series,” a poignant title given its location here in Auckland and its role in the Whale Tales 2022 art trail. This sculpture was one of eighty large tails designed by various artists, inspired by the Bryde’s whale. The Bryde’s whale is an endangered species, and these sculptures aimed to tell their tale and highlight the importance of ocean conservation. The project benefited WWF-New Zealand, with proceeds from the auction going towards their marine conservation efforts, specifically in the Hauraki Gulf. Imagine the streets of Auckland adorned with these magnificent artworks, each one a unique expression of our relationship with the sea. The Whale Tale Sculpture here reminds us of the beauty and fragility of our marine environment, urging us to protect it for future generations. They are Us, Deco Deity, Te Koha Tohorā, I Am The Water And The Water Is Me, Just Fowlin’ Around, all part of this beautiful project reminding us of our connection to the ocean.
