Thesis Statement
Artist Statement
Ever since I started college, I always found myself exploring deeper and deeper into the idiosyncrasies of animals. This fascination has been steadily increasing, from a young child to the adult I am today, I was always intrigued by the intricacies of the ‘why’ and the ‘how’, rather than the ‘what’ or ‘who’. Why do these things happen? How exactly does this occur? Today, I am still filled with these questions. It is these questions that drive and inspire me, even as I continue researching Metachrosis, the innate ability some animals possess to change the color of their skin at will.
Scientific literature is quite difficult to understand if you aren’t a student or scientist well versed in its vernacular or jargon. In my future pursuits I aim to act as a translator between academic journals and the general population, especially the younger generation. Through Technicolor: Seeing the Unseen, I am able to illustrate amazing phenomena in a simplified and understandable manner, all in order to educate and inspire young people to foster the same type of curiosity that I have.
Technicolor: Seeing the Unseen strives to reveal the scientific truth behind camouflage through a combination of detail oriented digital renderings and simplified vector illustrations. I believe incorporating a relatable – as well as witty and jovial – style of artwork enhances the amount of information received and retained.
