Giant Oceanic Manta Ray 2.0 - this will be featured at my fourth solo exhibition. Giant oceanic manta rays are the largest species of ray, with wingspans reaching up to 23 feet. Found in tropical and subtropical oceans, they are graceful swimmers and often seen gliding near the surface or cleaning stations. Despite their size, they are harmless filter feeders, consuming plankton and small fish. Manta rays are intelligent, social animals with the largest brain-to-body ratio of any fish. They are vulnerable to threats like overfishing and habitat loss.
