Piece Description
Medium: Mixed Media
Dimensions: 3 ft by 2 ft
This piece was born from my interest in the way society has alternatively valued or devalued differences and why. My intention with this piece was to relay my observation of the cultural shift from uniformity to diversity in the media. I attempt to show this through two digital images. In one image the majority of the subjects are covered in camo and are surrounding one subject with unique colors and patterns that stand out from the rest. I intentionally created this contrast to express a shared conformity with the subjects, and their looks of shock and disapproval towards the unique individual was to show their opinion of him. However, in the second image the situation has reversed, and it is now the majority that is different and the minority that is the same. I chose to express diversity through the patterns of animals, and I chose animals that stood out amongst the rest of nature, and those that do not blend in with their surroundings but stand out.
