Whale Shark Mural Client: Private Residence

This whale shark mural was a private commission for someone who waited almost a year for the piece—and whose love for sharks, especially whale sharks, runs deep. She asked me to capture their magic, with a special focus on the spots that make them so iconic. I was nervous going into it—making art for someone, not a brand or business, feels more vulnerable. But the result was one of those rare moments where everything aligned. She loved it. I loved it. And it reminded me why, every now and then, I say yes to projects like this.
