Description:
Deep down in the darkest corners of the ocean the 400 million year old Coelacanth swims. Named a living fossil it exists to exist, not to be seen and admired -but to exist timelessly. On the surface of this ocean a boat floats with a girl at its stern. At its bow a figurehead searches for answers and direction while an owl whispers wisdom in its ear. Life is rooted in time and time will not be measured.
