'I came here to find stories about animals. We wake, sleep and wake again among the immeasurable sentience of the natural world, yet another species sharing a finite plant.

We belong to it.'

Artist Abdul-Rahman Abdullah explores our connection (and responsibility to) the natural world in, 'Undying: Abdul Rahman-Abdullah'.

After working as an illustrator, model maker and zoo designer, Abdul-Rahman Abdullah developed a sculptural practice grounded in storytelling. In ‘Undying’, his intricately carved and painted works tell a story of our complex relationship with life, death and the afterlife.
