A broad-leaved tropical plant stretches across the foreground, its vibrant greens and yellow highlights catching the light from a bright blue sky beyond the window. Through the glass, rooftops and a distant church steeple rise against soft cloud formations, offering a layered view of urban life. A radiator painted in cool blues anchors the interior, contrasting with the warmth of the plant’s organic form. Singer’s dynamic brushwork and bold palette create a vivid tension between nature and architecture, stillness and city rhythm. The composition reflects his enduring fascination with plants—rooted in his background as a biologist—and his ability to render domestic space as a site of quiet observation and layered meaning.
