There is a big tree in this painting, and the big tree also represents time. One is the present and the past and the another one is the future. In the present and the past, because the environment is becoming more and more damaged by chemicals, I regard architecture as the environment. People often throw plastic bottles and chemicals into the sea so I drew them as chemicals in plastic bottles and the sea in the plastic bottles. Water (chemical substances) from plastic bottles is poured into the the building (environment) and destroys the original biological form. In the future, due to human destruction, the earth will not longer be suitable for human survival. The air is filled with harmful bacteria., causing many people to die (hearts filled with bones), and humans can only survive by relying on technology and machinery.
