"Red Fox, Your City Needs You"

This striking piece by artist Iona Rowland combines compelling visual art with an inspiring poem, offering a thought-provoking commentary on our relationship with the natural environment. Central to the work is a beautifully depicted red fox, symbolising the wildlife that shares our urban spaces and highlighting the fragile balance between human activity and nature.

Iona employs bold colours and layered textures to reflect the vibrancy and complexity of city ecosystems. The accompanying poem encourages viewers to see nature not as a distant entity, but as an essential part of our community—something worth caring for and protecting.

Through this piece, Iona seeks to challenge us to rethink our role in preserving the environment. By using the analogy of sports fandom, the work promotes collective responsibility and community effort. Practical actions—like removing hazards, supporting local wildlife, planting greenery—are emphasised as ways we can help foster a diverse and thriving urban ecosystem.

Ultimately, this artwork is a call to action, inviting us to unite passion and community in the endeavour to nurture our environment. It serves as a reminder that we are all part of the same team, working together for a healthier, more sustainable city.
