In the garden 21×21cm by Teruo Yamakawa
The pale pink and light blue color scheme gives this piece a cute feel at first glance, but it is also complex and mysterious.
It is packed with various elements, including things that look like plants and shapes that look like human eyes. The small space in the garden has a wide range of possibilities, stimulating the viewer's curiosity.
The garden is like a secret world, and it is a piece of work that allows your imagination to expand endlessly as to what kind of wonders await you.
