In this nostalgic reimagining of 1970s Australian surf culture, Phil Hayes presents the Tasmanian Tiger not as an extinct curiosity, but as an everyday companion. Reclining casually in the back of a bright yellow Holden Sandman, a young woman shares the space with a domesticated Thylacine, rendered with the same familiarity as a family dog. Through soft hyper-realism and strong period detail, Hayes imagines an alternate Australia where the Thylacine survived and became embedded within ordinary suburban life, transforming a symbol of extinction into one of companionship and cultural identity.
