- Apalis fuscigularis
Original artwork description
Apalis fuscigularis portrays the Taita apalis, one of the rarest birds in the world. Endemic to the Taita Hills in Kenya, the species is critically endangered, surviving only within a tiny and fragmented area of native forest.
Much of its habitat has been destroyed or transformed by human activity — cleared for agriculture or replaced with non-native timber plantations.
The work reflects on a species pushed towards extinction not by natural processes, but by the transformation of the world around it — and on how little space we leave for other species to exist.
