‘If this isn’t the world you want, please stand up and gently turn it into ours.’ - Soda Green



Background

Paying tribute to the worriers fighting for the same sex marriage bill.  In May 2019 we took to the street holding the rainbow flag, fighting for our right.

Design Concept


Although the path is treacherous just like a wrinkled shirt, but the light of rainbow will not go away. These wrinkles made the rainbow more shiny and the red dot symbolize the worriers heart. After years of battle the government passed the same sex bill, this day the world is ours.

Idea and Experiment Process


In order to translate softness, rainbow and oppression into a visual language, I tried to implement these three words into my mind. Using a silver fabric with glass balls, I scanned the image, the rainbow reflected light just like the worriers being brutally treated. To my amusement no matter I harsh I treat this fabric the rain reflection remains and the wrinkles made the rainbow shinier just like the worriers.
