More Than Meets The Eye
More Than Meets The Eye explores the dog-eat-dog society where
people often make superficial judgements, landing themselves in
difficult situations. The animalistic trait of 'camouflage' is
used as a metaphor for the notion of prey vs predator, which
mirrors the societal structure of human life. The motifs of prey
and predator were curated through the basis of similarity,
creating an illusory experience that demonstrates the
unassumingly contradictory nature of these similar patterns. The
patterns seem to blend together uniformly from a distance, but
closer inspection reveals each animal’s true form. The stripes
of a tiger and the stripes of a zebra camouflaged among each
other, yet their purposes are different — one uses it to hide,
while the other uses it to hunt.
This project prompts
people to reflect upon their own circumstances and serves as a
reminder to be wary of their surroundings. In the dog-eat-dog
world, you might not know who the real enemy is — to look
closely.
