❛ Inspiration Book ❜ This book is a discovery of animal transformations in the animals’ culture and ours. It begins with an exploration of transformations in the animal realm. Through three main themes, GROWTH, SEDUCTION AND DISGUISES, we discover visual and sensorial changes, which are the basis of my research.
This analysis allows us to understand the physical, behavioural and social reasons, which are at the origin of such changes. Therefore we like to speak about THE CULTURE OF ANIMALS rather than the animal realm.
In the second part of this book, ANIMALS AND CULTURE will be explored in a cultural analysis of human beings and their connection to the animal realm through transformations. This chapter is divided into three themes, – COPYING – MERGING ‒ TRANSLATING.
By analysing cultural references and observing how we connect to the animal culture, this section proposes a process of creation applicable to design in our culture. TRANSFORMATIONS explores the multiple possibilities used to rediscover the animal culture by translating it for our own cultural language in order to develop new means of expression through clothing and adornments.
