A geometric possum commands the center of this mural by Jesse Harte Art in Geelong, Victoria, its forward-facing gaze anchored by large black eyes set against cream-colored facial planes. The animal's body is rendered in overlapping flat shapes—gray, tan, and brown—with deliberate patterns etched across its form: triangular segments on the back, curved lines along the belly, and geometric marks on the limbs. The possum's ears point upward in sharp, peach-toned triangles that frame the composition.
Surrounding the central figure, decorative botanical elements emerge from a teal background. Olive and moss-green leaves curve organically along the edges, creating visual movement that contrasts with the possum's angular construction. Brown berries punctuate the leafy branches, their circular forms echoing the creature's round, expressive eyes and amplifying the contemporary geometric approach throughout the work.
The mural's palette—earth tones of gray, brown, and tan against teal—creates visual depth while maintaining a cohesive, controlled aesthetic. Black outlines separate each colored plane, reinforcing the flat, vector-like quality characteristic of contemporary geometric style. The composition balances the possum's stillness with the flowing plant forms, unifying subject and setting through consistent use of simplified shapes and a restrained color vocabulary.
