This installation contains just under 20,000 paper stand-ins for krill. These small, shrimp-like creatures gather in vast numbers called “clouds” or “swarms”, and it is at this point that whales feed on them. Even though krill are significantly smaller than whales, when they gather together in these giant swaths they can become larger than the whale itself.
