Deer burning penguin hook

At first look, this work that shows a couple of deers and a person fishing on a deer may seem to portray a nomad who is searching for an oasis. But a closer look will reveal that the deer that used to live deep in the forest are in strainless steel armour made with origami, and that the reindeer disguising itself with stripes compromise on something with a person. Also, Antarctic emperor penguins that lost their home due to radioactivity and global warming have evolved to survive even in waters off Busan. In a way, the person riding a deer and trying to catch the penguins (in a speed game) resembles people in the modern world who have the instinct of competition for survival. 'Deer burning penguin hook' looks like a scene from a comic book which is interpreted and recreated into a possible glimpse of the future, where enormous changes occurred in the environment due to continued development of technologies. This seemingly strange composition gives the sense of fun and familiarity, evoking imagination and humor in the viewer.
