In response to this week theme Force, I made a concept art by combining two unrelated things to create a new thing by following the rules in the references. By finding something which has the same or similar attributes, after deconstruction and reorganization, the final output is given a new definition that could be realistic or absurd. In my work, I chose to combine sheep and cloud which can be easily associated with each other and often used as a metaphor in novels. This work is according to some related references that followed this 'force', Warhol Reimagined by Robert Bowen, which used deconstruction to combined the banana and the octopus, which is interesting and creative concept art. It also can be found in some advertisement design or related design, for example, as the pictures showed, the combination between keyboard and grenade implied the keyboard warrior who always hides behind the Internet and attacks others through words.
