The soil looks like this

No. Artificial light almost certainly isn’t sufficient unless it’s made for growing plants. Sun is your best bet. You can buy LED grow lights as well that might work.

Indeed! I’d move it nearer a window and see if that helps
You also need to check whether the soil underneath is waterlogged as that will rot the roots even if the surface layer is dry. Once the roots turn to mush it won’t draw water and will begin to droop as it’s thirsty. I over-watered a lot of plants before realising this!

This is a ZZ plant, it does not want direct sunlight.
It will grow under artificial lights just fine, in fact throw it on your desk at the office without a window in sight and the fluorescent lights will do enough.
In your home if the ZZ plant can see a window it’s likely fine, however this one does appear slightly etoliated AND like it has some nutrient issues
