Top panel shows a close-up of a lobster’s eye with the words “I am scared…” Middle panel shows three lobsters upright in a tank, claws bound, with speech bubbles: “Suffocating…”, “Hungry…”, and “I must escape…” Bottom panel shows lobsters crammed in a tank grid. The artwork conveys the fear and suffering lobsters experience in the food industry.
