I often use “Eden” as a metaphor in my art.

In this piece, I swapped the apple for a coconut.

I used cartoon figures because I didn’t want the work to look too scary, but the reality behind it is a simulated game scene:
Eve has contracted an STD and must escape from Eden.
To do that, she has to cut down the coconut tree that symbolizes her paradise.
I don’t want to explain it too much because the story is quite disturbing, and I think everyone will have their own take on it anyway.

I remember a strawberry seller once told me their strawberries tasted so good because they were fertilized with fish meat. I didn’t think it influenced my art, but looking at this piece now, I realize it probably stayed in my subconscious.

I was a vegetarian for two years until I saw a video talking about how human meat sometimes gets mixed into processed meat. It made me realize that even the vegetarian “minced meat” I ate could be mixed with anything.

It gave me this deep feeling of powerlessness.
Everything in this world is just one big cycle.
It sounds abstract, but it’s like people are all part of the same chaotic mess—organic matter turns into inorganic, and back again.
We’re all interchangeable. I think humans probably originated from that kind of chaos anyway.
When you finally accept how weird the world is, nothing surprises you anymore—even the wildest conspiracy theories like the Flat Earth or something else.

I see time as a cake roll. To me, the inside of that roll is a 4D space, and I love how “ravaged” and messy it looks.

I heard this explanation once: the holes in a cake are just the air that yeast lets out. Baking is basically feeding the yeast until they’re full, then putting them in a hot oven to kill them all at once.

It sounds dark, but it fascinates me. It’s as if the moment the yeast dies, time itself gets frozen in place. That’s why I’m so attracted to that spiraled structure.

This piece is a “time cage.” The person is trapped inside this device. I’ll admit, it’s a reflection of how I often feel in my own life—trapped in situations where I have no choice and no control.
