The fall is falling. And soon will fallen. We are falling. We should prepare for the winter. Or else, we will fallen. Because 'THIS IS NOT A DRILL'.

Motivated from climate activists throwing tomato soup to the painting, Fallen was created to emphasize the importance of environmental protection. Using the strong color of red and making an illusion of blood and tomato soup, Fallen gives visually intuitive warning to viewers to highlight the ecological situation that people are facing is 'not a drill'. The bloodstained painting--Autumn by Giuseppe Arcimboldo--symbolizes the fall of the earth's abundance. This leads to a message that people should step up for the earth before the winter comes--before the fall completely becomes to fallen. Otherwise, our fallen descendants will stare at us like the model in the Fallen, or even more miserable, and resent us for our attitude toward climate change right now.

Seungyeon Chang is a conceptual artist who loves to combine various concepts into one using her own creative thoughts and expresses them in the form of art. Not limited to one specific field, she tries to express them using various fields and materials. She usually spends her days as an artist looking for the stories around her daily life that could be her future inspiration like diverse knowledge, cases, trends, and excursuses. Based on them, she injects her 'head-made' narrative into her work.
