New Zealand and Australia Talent Show 12

A matte print. The curtain parts to reveal a shimmering pool set on the rustic stage, where a team of platypus glide gracefully through a synchronized swimming routine. Their bills and tails cut through the water in perfect unison, paws stretching skyward as they form comical yet surprisingly elegant shapes. The stage lights glitter off the rippling surface, while the audience of animals leans forward in delighted disbelief. Painterly detail captures the humor and charm of this unlikely aquatic act, turning the Trans-Tasman rivalry into a whimsical showcase of synchronized skill.
