A dramatic wide shot of a steep, grassy hillside on the left, with visible weathered sandstone rock faces and patches of dry, golden grass. One prominent rock face has white spray paint that reads "RIP SKIP DOG" with a heart symbol, and below it, the word "ogy" repeated several times. To the right, a vast, flat landscape stretches to the horizon under a cloudy, overcast sky. The landscape is a patchwork of green and yellow fields, with distant towns and industrial features barely visible. The overall impression is a blend of rugged nature and distant human habitation, under a foreboding sky.

From the Great Pyramid to Trump’s sad obsession with giant flagpoles, mankind has always clawed at meaning. Mere survival is never enough. They must carve something, build something, paint something—anything—to shout, “I was here!” Whether it is a monument propping up social hierarchies, a prize history will laugh at, or for those with less talent, a confused mess labelled “art,” the aim is the same: to be noticed.

This latest effort on Roseberry is no different. It reeks of desperation, a poor attempt to dodge the one fate they fear: being ignored.
