Liam Keiller, Where the Ocean Ends (ANIMALS 2026)

A deceased Risso’s dolphin lies washed up on Chesil Beach, England, a silent witness to an ocean already marked by human influence. Golden light breaks through the clouds, illuminating its body in a striking, unsettling moment. Scattered rubbish along the pebble beach echoes the pollution that reaches far beyond the shore — this is where the ocean ends, but human impact has long been present.
