A seal rests on ice, still, exposed, and watched from below.
In this moment, the ice feels like safe ground.
But the ground is melting.
The predator waits.
And the balance tilts.
The ocean, once the cradle of life, now holds a shifting threat:
unseen, relentless, and closing in.

We are all on borrowed ground now.
And like this seal, we may only realise it when the stillness breaks.
But perhaps in that moment, we also begin to listen and change course.
