Interactive Signed Fine Art Print featuring the mural titled "The Ocean, Our Teacher" created by artist
Ricky Lee Gordon in Houston, Texas.
The mural is part of the
#BigArtBiggerChange murals curated and produced by Street Art for Mankind in Downtown Houston.
It is inspired by the
United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 14 and the
UN Decade of Ocean Sciences led by UNESCO to reverse decline in ocean health and catalyze transformative ocean science solutions for sustainable development, connecting people and our ocean.
This mural highlights the
beauty and the fragility of life below water, bringing together the ocean, majestic whales and humans. It is inspired by photos from photographer and environmentalist
Natalie Karpushenko. The choice of the Humpback whale, present in the nearby Gulf of Mexico, is also a vivid reminder of the role of humans as a primary source of mortality for these endangered giants. By 1985, 95% of their population had disappeared due to commercial whaling. Today they still remain threatened by entanglement in fishing gear, boat strikes and pollution.
