In 2030, the extinct Japanese wolf has made a comeback. It is wearing headphones that can understand human language.

In the times to come, humans must act to ensure the preservation of precious species. This artwork conveys that sentiment quite well, doesn't it? Is the background mountain Mount Yatsugatake, perhaps?

The 17 SDGs are all supposed to be achieved by the year 2030. This piece is themed around the goal "sustainable cities and communities".
The objective of the goal is to make sustainable cities that anyone can live in, while maintaining nature and culture.The right side og the piece is where the goal is achieved and the left side is where it isn't.
The world 7 years from now depends on our actions until then.

​Judges' Comment

Your expression of the ideal world in 2030 through "color" is truly impressive.
The way you've captured the significance of everyday colors like the green of trees and the hues of flowers reminds us of the importance of cherishing what should not be lost.
We must carefully consider and take action to preserve these elements.
