Comment

I depicted a scene in which plants bearing strange fruits, such as animal heads and chandeliers, breaking through the roof and bursting out from the greenhouse of the plant factory.

I expressed my anxiety about modern food, where crops are being grown in plant factories and other places due to concerns about radioactive contamination.

While the house part of the picture is drawn using a charcoal pencil, the scattered animal heads, chandeliers, and plants at the top are expressed using vivid colors using acrylic and watercolor paints to create a contrast of the upper limit and to emphasize the realistic scene by shaking the entire picture.
