Using anatomical models from the Zoological Museum in Florence as a motif, I tried to express the relationship between people, and between humans and nature by depicting the internal structure of the human body as if it were a natural landscape.

The internal organs are the main motif, and the entire picture is unified in a red hue, but while using similar colors, I consciously changed the lightness and darkness by mixing colors and changed them again to create a deeper color and matière through the repetition of glaze and depiction, so that the richness of form and rhythm of colors were created throughout the picture.
