Wollemi Pine

When I learned about the Wollemi Pine, I was amazed that it is often called a “living fossil.” That made me imagine finding its leaves preserved inside a rock from millions of years ago. In my artwork, the fossil is surrounded by living Wollemi Pine leaves to show the connection between the past and the present. I wanted to remind people that this ancient tree is still alive today, and it is our job to protect it so it doesn’t become just another fossil in the future.
