“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.
