“Fruit Tree”, a colorful balloon sculpture densely crammed with
fruits and vegetables, is Choi’s representative work. It vividly
decorates the Roppongi Hills Arena. Fruits and vegetables that
look like they have fallen from branches are placed in the
arena, transforming the space into a magical garden. This
sculpture made with synthetic plastic expresses the beauty of
both nature and artifacts.
