The Last Ascent
TThis painting depicts the spirit of Lolita, an orca who knew true freedom only in her passing. Her physical form, held captive for decades in an inadequate tank, never made the journey home to the Pacific Northwest. Yet, as her spirit ascends, bathed in the ethereal glow of liberation, she embodies the freedom that was denied to her in life.
"The Last Ascent" is more than a tribute to Lolita; it's a powerful indictment of the cruel and outdated practice of wildlife captivity. It serves as a stark reminder that concepts of ownership over wild animals inflict immeasurable pain and suffering upon the Earth and its creatures. Lolita's tragic death, mere days before her anticipated release, underscores the urgency of our message: we must no longer tolerate the capture, sale, and display of sentient beings in unnatural, restrictive environments.
This artwork is a fervent call to action. Let Lolita's spirit ignite a movement to free all living beings held captive. We must not wait for illness and despair to claim more lives. The time for true freedom is now.
Materials: Paper. Mixed media with oils. Dimensions: W: 34 x H 26 inches.
