The whale
A mural by the street artist Gagosh at 23 Mazniashvili Street in Old Batumi shows a whale shark carrying scuba tanks beside a sailing ship.
The whale mural on General Giorgi Mazniashvili Street in Old Batumi is the work of Gagosh, a Tbilisi-based street artist who also works with stencils, installations, street poetry and mosaics.
On a sea-blue background, a whale shark wearing oxygen tanks gently nudges a sailing ship with its tongue. The colours of the mural have faded over the years.
