  • A surreal, high-key digital art piece featuring three stylized figures in a dreamlike state, with large, semi-transparent white letters "ATTENTION" spanning the width. The figures, with pearl-white, iridescent skin and flowing paint effects, progress from a smaller figure with an explosive floral head on the left to a larger figure on the right. This final figure has closed eyes, outspread hands like a sleepwalker, and blue and pink spheres floating from its head. Interspersed script text asks "Are you sleepwalking through life?" Vertical Japanese text on the far left reads "Attention," and Japanese text on the lower right reads, "Are you living like someone who isn't really here?" The composition has a polished, museum-quality feel against a light-grey gradient background.
