New Zealand and Australia Talent Show 17

A matte print. On the brightly lit stage, a kangaroo works on her masterpiece — an elaborately decorated cake covered with swirls of cream and perfectly arranged fruit.  In the foreground, a panel of human judges sit at a rustic wooden table, making notes and watching with a mix of skepticism, curiosity, and quiet admiration. The painterly detail captures the tension and humor of the moment, blending culinary flair with the playful spirit of the Trans-Tasman rivalry talent show.
