Exhibit Overview Whale Sounds on a Canvas II is the latest evolution of Firuze Gokce’s ocean-inspired art series. Transforming whale vocalizations into vivid abstract visuals, Firuze combines hand-drawn micro-pen illustrations with digital color to create immersive works that bridge science and art. Her flowing lines, waves, and vibrant palettes invite viewers into a dreamlike space where they can feel connected to whales and the ocean, experiencing both wonder and the urgency of conservation. Through her work, Firuze seeks to awaken empathy, deepen awareness, and celebrate the harmony of life beneath the surface. About the Artist Firuze Gokce is an artist, entrepreneur, and marine conservation advocate. A serial entrepreneur since 2000, she has co-founded multiple startups and exhibited work at international events. After moving to California, she focused on marine conservation, supporting organizations like the American Cetacean Society and serving as Project Lead for the BayQuest SeaSounds Project, which studies the impact of vessel noise on humpback whales. Firuze transforms whale vocalizations into abstract visual forms, creating multi-sensory experiences that celebrate ocean soundscapes while inspiring reflection, empathy, and action for marine conservation.
