CHARACTER, PLACE, AND SIMULATION - WEEK 3
THEME: Found Object
CONTEXT: I wanted to play around and somewhat subvert the meaning of the Japanese Daruma Doll, that people makes wishes onto by painting one eye, and leaving out the other until that wish or goal materializes.
https://www.tokyoweekender.com/2017/11/dark-history-daruma-doll/ : History of the Daruma Doll.
https://www.behance.net/gallery/68483623/-Maneki-Neko-Collection : Different Cat Renditions.
METHOD: To explore different renditions or re-imagined character of the Daruma Doll. I intend to visualize the wildly varying of wishes of people. Also kept in mind is what the Daruma Doll means to different people, and its various historical meanings.
RESPONSE: I created sketches and studies of differernt versions of the Daruma Doll, with the intention of utilizing video projection mapping.
