Until now, I had selected trees and flowers as subjects and painted them so that extinction and production, or the cycle of nature, can be seen on one screen. Then, I learned the seriousness of environmental destruction through various media outlets recently, and that many animals on Earth have already been wiped out or destroyed in the wild. Knowing that the protected animals are also in critical condition, the idea was to record a number of animals that may soon disappear, and to further inform many people of the current seriousness of the animals being extinct due to environmental damage.
A work to this effect is called "Soon" that will be featured at the "2020 LA Art Show." The lioness was trapped in an artificial space, and another lion (an animal) outside the screen was roaring at death by humans.
This work is the first attempt to express endangered animals in my own way, and it is a sign of a change from the original material and expression.
