The exhibition takes its title from the ecological phenomenon that occurs when a whale dies and sinks to the ocean floor. What appears at first as an unceremonious ending becomes a site of prolonged transformation: over centuries, the carcass sustains complex ecosystems, feeding life through slow decay. Known as marine snow, this process turns death into an unlikely oasis.
