Sinha, a self-taught illustrator, gained popularity on social media when her portrait of Breonna Taylor went viral in May 2020.

The forest will feature 23 tree varieties, typical of those found across the UK and northern Europe, and is designed to draw attention to climate change, inequality and Covid-19 recovery.
The green landscape will be installed in Somerset House’s courtyard and will later be “rehomed”.
