A colossal strangler fig swallows crumbling skyscrapers in a dense tangle of scratchboard roots. Beneath the wreckage, condensed type reads NATURE BATS LAST.
A strangler fig starts at the top. Its seed, often dropped by a bird, sprouts high in another tree, sends roots down to the ground and wraps its host, which may die and leave a hollow column of fig. At the temple of Ta Prohm in Cambodia, founded in 1186, the figs and silk-cotton trees were left growing through the stone. The skyscrapers are ours.
