Statement
Apple & Plant & Tomorrow is a project about how subjective consciousness affects how we perceive the world. With their subjective filters, people have different feelings about the same thing. The thesis presents three words, ranging from concrete to abstract: apple, plant, and tomorrow. Different people were asked to draw images that represented those three words in their minds. These collected images were translated into 3D models in the designer’s own way—for example, with new colors or textures. We all know "the world is different in different people’s eyes." This project visualizes this reality. The final work is itself a subject view.
