Original artwork description:

In the world, perhaps you've noticed the widespread issue of freedom in journalism. Some journalists are pursued by the state and are unwilling to remain that incorruptible figure. In the State U, conflicts have become even more prominent due to the ongoing war. Division in society, changes, peculiar categories, and stubbornness. Foolishness and folly, that's what happens daily in State U.

In the painting, I depicted a flower that has sprouted two buds, and within these buds, faces are visible, upon which small figures cling, as if hanging onto them.

This serves as an analogy to the events. The seed that was planted cannot be changed; it can only be grafted and crossed to produce a new species. Yet from this seed sprouted this flower, offering us a choice: two faces. Which one will you choose? Will you remain the original seed or allow yourself to be grafted with new buds? But the second one won't be you; it will be something new, not even yours. Which face would you choose to wear?
