Pigs at Flandon Agricultural School

A proclamation was issued stating that ``Anyone who intends to kill a domestic animal must obtain a death certificate from the animal, and the certificate must be signed by the livestock.'' A work that makes you think about ``life'', depicting the relationship between a pig destined to be killed and the humans who fatten him indifferently from the pig's perspective.

The materials drawn with a pen were imported into a computer and combined, and the well-thought-out and wonderful colors and compositions are a must-see.
