「見ざる、聞かざる、言わざる」で有名な日光東照宮の三猿から着想を得て、現代の生きづらさの様なものを表現しました。
これは「思わざる」です。有名な、見ざる、聞かざる、言わざるに４つ目の猿が存在するらしいので、それを「頭に根が生えた」状態で何も考えるなということを義務化された世界の心象
です。

Inspired by the three monkeys of Nikko Toshogu Shrine, famous for their ``see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil'' story, I expressed the difficulty of living in modern times.
This is "unthinkable". Apparently there is a famous four-eyed monkey who has no evil to see, no evil to hear, and no evil to speak of, so this is a mental image of a world in which we are obligated not to think about anything with "roots growing in our heads". .

「人間は考える葦である」と言った偉人がおられますが、思考を止めることは難しく、脳の何処かで血が巡っている。疲れなどから体が動かないと「尻に根が生える」などと申しますが、その実、必要であれば動くのです。雑念を捨て無心になる、それとも単に思考停止状態か、考えるのをやめたとき「頭に根が生える」ことはあるのでしょうか。

There is a great man who said, ``Humans are thinking reeds,'' but it is difficult to stop thinking, and blood is circulating somewhere in the brain. People say that if you don't move your body because you're tired, you'll grow roots in your butt, but the truth is that you will move if you need to. Is it possible to let go of thoughts and become apathetic, or simply stop thinking?When you stop thinking, are there things that ``roots grow in your head''?
