In this work the unusual position of the splash of beautiful flowers within the layout of the image and the exaggerated zooming in on the exposed roots of a grove serve to destabilize the image, generating a feeling of disquiet. In so doing, Jakaila expresses how even small changes (such as those resulting from the effects of climate change) when observed in a familiar natural environment, can strike us in unexpected ways.
