While driving past the then under construction Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System someone remarked about how the valleys of California's Mojave desert were once oceans. The "Beluga" video evolved from that daydream, of converging ecological timeframes, verdant oceans receding into biomechanical deserts. A whale becomes a symbolic vessel taking us on a journey to the sun, culminating in divergent but equally plausible outcomes.
