Drosera menziesii and prey.

The Drosera plant is carnivorous, trapping insect ‘prey’ in their sticky pads.The wayfinding arrows in this work represent options for the local ecosystem; left for incineration, right for refuge. This is reflective of how cyclic burning is applied to the landscape; a line is drawn, fire is applied according to a human schedule. Hopefully the insects that escape the sticky traps of the Drosera species are offered some refuge during the next prescribed burn.
