Wild Fire I (2024) Photograph by Steven Irwin

Wild Fire I explores the fragile boundary between nature and the contemporary city. Layers of weathered textures, vibrant colour and photographic fragments merge a solitary tree with the rigid geometry of high-rise architecture, suggesting a landscape caught between resilience and destruction. The work reflects on climate change, urban expansion and the increasing vulnerability of natural ecosystems, while hinting at nature's enduring capacity for renewal. Rather than documenting a specific place, the image presents an imagined terrain where memory, environment and the built world collide, inviting viewers to consider both the beauty and precarity of our changing landscapes.
