Emma Talbot: HOW WE LEARN TO LOVE
A large, vibrant mural covering the walls of an indoor space. The mural features a highly detailed, fantastical landscape with numerous surreal, symbolic elements. Swirling patterns, celestial imagery, and imaginary creatures create a sense of dreamlike, otherworldly atmosphere. A central, larger-than-life female figure with long, flowing pink hair appears to be the focal point of the composition.

A night-time scene of a grand illuminated building, likely a manor or stately home, reflected in a still body of water. The sky is a mix of purple and orange hues, suggesting twilight or dawn. Trees frame the scene on both sides, and the building's lights create a warm glow that contrasts with the cooler tones of the sky and water.
