The Jungle

By Alex Lim

In this ode to Sungei Kadut Wetland Reserve, this piece, painted in acrylic and acrylic pens, comes to life with fluttering 3D butterflies. The artwork transforms striped trunks, oversized leaves, and wide-eyed creatures into a playful scene. Squirrels leap, owls hoot, worms wiggle, salamanders crawl, snakes spiral, and insects dot the canvas like confetti, creating a lively and vibrant portrayal of the reserve’s thriving ecosystem.
