Amanda Clarke , From land to sky, the spirit of the wild endures (ANIMAL 2025)

In India, two monkeys scale an ancient door, their playful ascent blending nature with history; a reminder that wildlife thrives even in human-made spaces. Beneath the golden light, meerkats stand watch, their elongated shadows mirroring their timeless vigilance and deep-rooted bonds. Above, a bird soars through swirling smoke, a symbol of resilience and freedom, defying gravity with effortless grace. Each creature, in its own way, tells a story of survival, curiosity, and the untamed beauty of the natural world.
