The Survival Series reflects the artist's continued interest and concern for wildlife animals. Various species of displaced animals could be seen moving into urban cities. Najib's paintings are created using stencilling techniques and mark making, to bring out a message on the effects of habitat loss. It is vital to conserve wildlife to protect animals from extinction. Painted in a monochrome colour scheme, a lion waits in front of a bus stop, en route to a new journey.
