It listens to everything — the silence between words, the hesitation in a voice, the footsteps disappearing down a corridor. It hears danger in ordinary sounds and catastrophe in the quietest moments.
It is always listening for something that might go wrong.
The Scrub Hare in this painting is anxiety made flesh: elongated, alert, and unnaturally attentive. Its enormous ears represent a mind that cannot switch itself off — constantly scanning, interpreting, anticipating. The fractured world surrounding it reflects the internal landscape of someone who has forgotten what it feels like to simply exist without expecting the next threat.

I have been painting Melted Troopers for over four years, and this is the largest Trooper I have created so far.
This piece is a reflection on all the layers we carry, the identities, expectations, fears, and experiences we accumulate, and the process of removing them to return to our true selves.
Sometimes that process requires resilience: continuing to move forward, even through the hardest moments, while allowing everything that no longer serves us to melt away.
The Melted Trooper represents that transformation, the strength to keep going, to let go, and ultimately, to become who we were beneath all those layers.
