This poster was a visual exploration of the story of 52 Hertz, also known as the loneliest whale in the world. Scientists are stumped by the story of a whale who has spent its entire life traveling alone. 52 Hertz "sings" at a frequency that goes unregistered by its fellow whales, and no one is quite sure why. Typically social creatures, whales can suffer just as much damage from loneliness as humans can.

The poster was an exploration into personal associations with the feeling of lonliness. The heavy typography is layered, creating a jarring, vibrating effect. The smoky background emphasizes the feeling of being lost, ungrounded, and moving through clouded thoughts. Smaller details relate the feelings back to the story of 52 Hertz.
