“The Kits Are Alright” by Nick Sweetman 

"I was asked to represent community using local wildlife and so I chose a mother fox and her kits, in an urban garden surrounded by winged pollinators. Pollinators are a good metaphor for community - they are small but numerous and the combined effect of each one working to feed themselves and their next generation, gathering nectar from one flower and inadvertently bringing its pollen to another, is what allows the garden and the wider world to flourish. The vibrancy of the community depends on each individual member working on their part. Mama fox understands this, she is seeing eye to eye with the top butterfly as one of her kits beams upwards at her path to growth. But off to the left, one of the kits is wondering about that big green moth…" - Nick Sweetman, 2024
