The exhibit is focused on sharks and their unsettling disappearance from our oceans. These apex predators are in the spotlight and the result is breathtaking. Skerry said this about the exhibit, “Sharks represent an endless well of inspiration, a blend of grace and power that lures me into the sea time and time again in hopes of producing a new rendering that truly captures their essence. “As a journalist, I’m driven by a sense of responsibility and a sense of urgent need to broadcast that sharks are in trouble and need our help. So, it’s fitting that the first stop of the traveling exhibit is at Georgia Aquarium, an institution that is also dedicated to the conservation of sharks and all ocean life.”

The exhibit is an important look into the lives of the sharks that live in our seas. The diverse and memorizing creatures that instill fear in some and awe in others. It will be on display until April 2018, don’t miss your chance to check it out!
