Title: Nature on Demand
I’ve always been fascinated by how we experience nature through screens—documentaries, TV specials—while the real world grows quietly all around us, often unnoticed. This painting reflects on that curious distance.
By framing Sir David Attenborough and the frog inside an old television, I aimed to honour his work while also questioning our growing detachment. The frog is confined within the screen, while the leaves grow freely outside—real, but still kept apart.
