Urban Oasis

The artwork presents a surreal figure with the head of a possum, reclining on intertwined branches, surrounded by fruit-bearing foliage. The figure’s body merges with a landscape featuring a historic building, lush gardens, and a blue sky, blending architecture with nature. The night sky background, dotted with stars, adds a sense of mystery and contrasts with the vibrant greenery. The arrangement of the branches and fruit suggests growth and abundance, while the possum’s relaxed posture evokes calmness and connection to its surroundings. The piece explores themes of unity between urban and natural environments, as well as the harmony between wildlife and human spaces.
