This anamorphic artwork melds scientific principle with ecological symbolism. Native to the jeopardised rainforests of South and Central America, poison dart frogs – small in size but visually arresting with their brilliant colours – serve as a vibrant emblem of nature’s concealed perils and paradoxes. These frogs grapple with myriad threats, spanning from habitat destruction and environmental pollution to smuggling for the international pet trade. This artwork prompts contemplation on how clear, immediate threats to biodiversity may lurk, often unnoticed, within seemingly unrelated global actions and policies. It serves as a colourful and potent reminder of the intricate and often hidden interdependencies threading through our global ecosystem.
