In Listen, I explore the tense and delicate dynamics between predator and prey, framed by themes of displacement and integration. The animals—whether lion and zebra, fox and rabbit, or cat and mouse—are shown in moments of silent interaction, inviting the viewer to consider what has happened in their exchange. The vintage objects in the scenes offer context, but the real focus is on the shifting power dynamics between these creatures

This work asks us to listen to the unspoken stories between the predator and prey, and to reflect on the changes they experience—displaced from their natural roles, forced to adapt, or integrate into new spaces. Each piece invites contemplation of how survival, power, and identity are transformed in times of tension and change. Listen becomes a quiet exploration of the complexities of coexistence, transformation, and the delicate balance between conflict and adaptation.

In this scene, the lion and zebra are framed in a moment of silent interaction, their contrasting roles as predator and prey captured with delicate precision. The presence of the open book and the musical instrument—symbols of knowledge and culture—suggests a deeper narrative, one where these creatures might not only be facing each other but also engaging in a quiet conversation about their place in a changing world.

The surrounding dried flowers and vintage elements evoke a sense of nostalgia, while the careful positioning of the objects hints at a shift in their natural roles. This scene invites the viewer to consider what happens in the space between the predator and prey, and to reflect on the unspoken exchange that could be unfolding in this delicate moment.

In this scene, the mouse and the cat are captured in a delicate and tense moment, their relationship subtly transformed in a shared space. Surrounded by a small table, chairs, and two goblets—one tipped over—this composition suggests a quiet interaction that challenges their traditional roles. The presence of the objects hints at a shift, as though both animals are navigating new dynamics in their coexistence, no longer confined to the expectations of their natural instincts.

The tipped goblet and the telephone on the floor symbolize a disruption, as if the familiar order of their world has been unsettled. This scene invites the viewer to reflect on the fluidity of their relationship, exploring how two beings, once defined by clear boundaries, might adapt to a space that no longer holds those same distinctions. The objects surrounding them act as subtle cues to this transformation, indicating a quiet but significant change in their connection.

In this scene, the fox and the rabbit are caught in a moment of quiet reflection, positioned within a shared space that hints at a deeper, unspoken exchange. The gramophone between them serves as a symbol of communication and time, suggesting that their interaction is shaped not just by instinct but by a process of integration, where both creatures are learning to coexist in a space that blurs the lines of their traditional roles. The vintage chairs surrounding them add a sense of domesticity, reinforcing the idea that they are not merely interacting in the wild, but in a context where boundaries are being redefined.

The tipped chair and scattered petals subtly suggest a shift in the dynamics between the two animals, as they adapt to each other's presence. The objects around them speak to the process of integration, where roles once sharply divided are now in flux, encouraging the viewer to reflect on the complexities of coexistence. This scene invites us to consider how both the fox and the rabbit are navigating a space that calls for a new understanding, a quiet adaptation to one another in a world where the lines between predator and prey are no longer so distinct.

In this scene, the pig and the wolf are placed together, creating an intriguing tension between the domesticated and the wild. The wolf, traditionally a symbol of the untamed, and the pig, often associated with domestic life, stand in close proximity, as if engaged in an unspoken dialogue about their changing roles. The vintage telephone and tea pot between them suggest a shift from the natural to the domestic, hinting at a conversation that bridges two worlds, where survival and adaptation are negotiated in a new context.

The pot above the frame adds an element of nostalgia and tradition, subtly echoing the passage of time. The objects surrounding the animals speak to the complexity of their relationship, highlighting the uneasy process of integration and coexistence. This piece invites the viewer to reflect on the blurred lines between conflict and harmony, considering how these two creatures, displaced from their natural environments, must adapt and find a new balance in this shared space.
