As a bystander to bullying incidents, I have witnessed many victims being forced to change themselves under the shadow of bullying, trying to conform to external expectations and even conceal their pain just to appear "normal."

This series of works explores the survival state of individuals within a group, particularly those who are ignored or oppressed. I use vegetables, fruits, and candies as signifiers in this metaphor, attempting to create "emotional sculptures". When bullies engage in their actions, they often do so with a playful mindset. However, for the victims, it is a cruel, painful, and haunting experience that lingers.

These sculptures, presented playfully, reflect the psychological state or emotional experiences of those who have been bullied. Meanwhile, the red background casts a shadow of oppression, violence, and fear over them.
