Canadian Underwater Life
Canadian artist Alexandra Lefort has created an engaging underwater scene that takesthe viewer beneath the surface to meet the diverse aquatic life that can be found off Canada’s shores in the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic Oceans.
A 3D “water” droplet dominates the centre of the design and frames a walrus that leads the eye into the design and around the outer edge where six ocean residents are positioned in a manner that roughly mirrors their geographical distribution inCanada. An iceberg floats in the upper right “Atlantic/Arctic” portion of the design while two species of Pacific kelp (bull and northern giant) frame the design as they define the West Coast. Presented clockwise from the top: ivory gulls glide above the water; a northern bottlenose whale; a pair of beluga whales; a leatherback sea turtle; a grey whale; and a basking shark.
