The Last Acorn imagines an Amazon warehouse as a corridor leading back toward nature, its rigid, engineered interior opening onto an oak tree beyond. The tree stands as a symbol of continuity and origin, while the warehouse frames a system that seeks to organise, extract, and contain the natural world. In the foreground, a deer has torn the head from another during a rut, confronting the viewer with the raw brutality that underpins natural cycles often idealised or sanitised. Scattered throughout the space, gold circular forms create optical interruptions, depicting seeds, cells, and organic patterns that hover between ornament and specimen. These elements suggest both reverence and reduction—nature revered, catalogued, and abstracted. The work holds tension between control and wildness, asking whether return to nature is possible once it has been filtered through systems of consumption and spectacle.
