About the Item

Shark Mountain Fakarava, French Polynesia, 2023 Edition of 20: 24” x 36” (61 x 91.4 cm) - $3,500 Edition of 15: 31” x 46.5” (78.7 x 118.1 cm) Edition of 10: 40” x 60” (101.6 x 152.4 cm) Edition of 7: 60” x 90” (152.4 × 228.6 cm) "Under the light of the full moon, thousands of grouper gather where the tides flush in and out of a channel between the protected lagoon of the Fakarava atoll and the open sea. In their wake is a fleet of a thousand sharks patrolling the reefs in hopes of a meal. As long as the fish remain motionless against the coral, their camouflage appears to keep them safe. Every once in a while, however, the waters come alive with hundreds of thrashing sharks descending on an unlucky straggler. Nature's most vital life cycles can seem chaotic and even violent to us humans when in truth nothing is wasted in the ancient balance of life on Earth." - Paul Nicklen Paul Nicklen's Biography: Paul Nicklen (Canadian) is a visual artist and marine biologist who has documented both the beauty and the plight of our planet for over 20 years. Paul’s photography informs and connects by creating an emotional bond with wild subjects in extreme conditions. After a 20-year career of photographing for journalistic publications like National Geographic, Paul’s perpetuating dream is to revisit his archives for the true artistic gems and release them to the world. His ongoing journey is to continue photographing intimate, evocative, powerful subject matter to create a thought-provoking body of work. Paul hopes his viewers look into the eyes of the animals in his photographs and fall in love with their vulnerability. In addition to being one of the world’s most renowned nature photographers, Paul is a well-known speaker, TED Talks participant, author, and National Geographic Fellow. In the past two decades, Paul has collaborated with scientists, filmmakers, conservationists, and explorers to create awareness and inspire action for global issues such as climate change. Paul has garnered more than 30 of the highest awards given to any photographer in his field, earning a global following of celebrities, conservationists, and fans.
