This animated work traces the vast evolutionary journey from the origins of life to the modern whale, presented through a carefully curated blend of visuals and sound. The narrative unfolds across four distinct epochs – Proterozoic, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic – each offering a unique glimpse into the changing ecosystems and lifeforms. The film’s atmosphere is contemplative and observational, emphasizing the slow, incremental processes of natural selection. Music plays a central role, utilizing George Klum's "Vox Balaenae" as a guiding force, creating an immersive experience that connects the viewer to the deep history of our planet. The presentation aims for scientific accuracy while maintaining an artistic sensibility, prompting reflection on the interconnectedness of life and the passage of geological time.
