New Zealand and Australia Talent Show 18

This matte print captures a daring outdoor performance: a blindfolded tuatara standing in rustic grassland, bow drawn and arrow aimed squarely at a kiwifruit target perched on a wooden post. The sky glows softly behind him, adding drama to the tense moment as the audience of animals gathers in the background, waiting to see if the shot will land. Painterly detail highlights the tuatara’s calm, ancient composure set against the humorous absurdity of aiming at a piece of fruit — a whimsical act that turns the Trans-Tasman rivalry into a storybook spectacle.
