Amphibious

Amphibious depicts a mechanical frog as a commentary on environmental degradation caused by human activity due to our unchecked use of technology. Frogs are natural biomarkers in the wild and are the first to show signs of distress in the presence of pollution. Amphibious was meant s a cynical solution to species extinction, by replacing whichever one should disappear with a mechanical surrogate to preserve a precious ecological player in the wild.
