In the piece titled We are time, created with acrylic, oil and oil pastel on canvas, two leaves from a struggling plant take centre stage, contrasting with the vibrant vitality depicted in Webb's other works. The subdued brown tones of the grid-like background hint at the cyclical nature of life. Webb invites viewers to contemplate the fragility of nature, suggesting a reflection on humanity's control over nature, reminding us that humans’ mastery is not absolute.


In his depiction of the overlooked beauty of nature’s insignificant details, Webb encourages us to find beauty in the mundane and to marvel at the wildness that persists despite human intervention. Through his art, he prompts us to reconsider our place within the grander scheme of the natural world, suggesting that humans are not the protagonists of life on Earth.
