I wanted to show the beginning of a malevolent yet ordinary presence entering the space these plants occupy. A hand touches a large leaf, and while still technically alive, the rusted tones and yellow tinges indicate the flora is suffering. It seems innocuous while other plants grow upwards but the balance has been shifted despite life finding a way to continue.
