Shopping for a Blue Whale

What happens when you turn to science to explain your feelings?

I created this piece in an attempt to answer that question. “Shopping for a Blue Whale” is a scenography constructed upon a fictionalized memory from my childhood. In this piece, I fish across timespace for the memory of a blue whale through the lens of Einstein’s theory of relativity, gracefully complemented by Adele Thomas’ musical composition.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand wrapped in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.
—Albert Einstein
