There's Something in the Water Artist Video by Kestrel Michaud

Quilt artist ‪@KestrelMichaud‬ discusses her piece "There's Something in the Water" in the ‪@SAQAArtquilt‬ exhibition "Light the World" on display at the ‪@brighamcitymuseums‬ June 24-September 23, 2023.
In the midst of a raging storm, a massive wave crests over a submersible as it steams away at full speed. A flash of lightning reveals the tentacles of an enormous Kraken hidden below the turbulent water. Surrounded by danger from above and below, the future of this steampunk vessel and crew is not looking bright.
Light shows us the beauty of the world around us, but the absence of light can be even more evocative. The mysteries hiding in the shadows, dark recesses, and murky depths spawn the fears that live within us. In this scene, a flash of light illuminates not only the impending tsunami, but the even more threatening tentacles of a sinister monster. Knowing that when the light fades, the lurking leviathan will still be there beyond sight, is utterly terrifying.
