Celebrating Tails
All the nitty-gritty things around us collectively make up our surroundings. In this project, I’ll be shedding light on such a thing, that being the animals and birds around us which on a day to day basis add to the scenic beauty we interact with daily. Growing up with these beings in my surroundings, I’ve always been struck by how similar they are to human beings and have always been touched by their bonds, been impressed and overwhelmed by their emotions, sensibility and their existence in communities like us humans. Being a print design major student, I’ve taken upon these traits of theirs and celebrated their existence through a surrealist approach placing them into joyous or celebratory settings inspired from my surroundings.
