Shark sculpture

Sharks are primal creatures. Primus means first. If I say my primal self, I mean the most basic, important part of who we are. You can think of this as a priority, just as the primal urge of all animals is survival. Primal can also describe something original, or at its earliest stage, like a primal or primeval forest, or the most ancient places, mountains, or similar examples, like sharks.
