🌱GREEEEEN HOUSE Project🌱 Day8
‘What if plants take control of the world, and human live in the flowerpots.’

🌱Behind the drawing:
‘I really appreciate what the project introduction said: “the occupation of the painting by the oil pastel also represents the occupation of the space by the plants”; consequently, I thought that why not just use the oil pastel to cover the entire space at first. Regarding the content of the drawing, I chose to use the method of scraping instead of painting because I think this can create a kind of confrontation. I also want to think about the problem from another angle. Space originally occupied by oil paintings slowly began to have people and plants.’

🌱About the project:
GREEEEEN HOUSE is a drawing cooperative project that I created based on the brief from college. The video shows a few of them. I will post a drawing and the story behind it from this project every day.
(Link in bio, access it to see more.)
I was inspired by the growing grass in the dormitory after such a long time staying at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, I envision a world in which growing plants becomes the new normal. Or even further, the plants take control of the house and humans live in flowerpots.
I used black and white, geometric and artificial shapes to create the human figure on the computer which shows a sense of rules. Then I drew on it with oil pastels which shows a rough and natural texture to break the human rules. After that, I invited some friends to join in this project to show what they think of the relations between human and plants could be in this world, especially during the Covid-19 time.
