The perspective of this illustration is positioned within the hollow space of the bush, the small void of this wrapped around the facades of the building structure. Tommy invites everyone to enjoy the stillness of this work, the vibrant and saturated palette of the greenery, and to reflect on the smaller details to help free our minds from the temporary physical restrictions.

TEMPORARILY HEDGED
Inspired by the structure of plants and the idea of co-existence, Temporarily Hedged is a digital illustration that seeks to examine themes of community and precarious moments of joy in our current time of confusion, and uncertainty. Fostering this small seed of joy, Temporarily Hedged focuses on the fluidity of mark-making, and the organic quality of the plants.
