CPS Week 5 - Object Oriented Ontology

In response to this week's theme of "Object-Oriented Ontology". I created a digital picture book-Esque illustration of bunnies eating and playing with cardboard boxes using Clip Studio Paint. Whilst listening to the lecture of OOO, I was thinking about what to create for this particular topic. I was thinking about how this could relate to inanimate objects or animals, and because I really like bunnies, I was thinking about how I learned that bunnies can eat cardboard boxes whilst also receiving cardboard playhouses as well. I think about how people sometimes make massive playhouses out of cardboard boxes for bunnies, but regardless of it, bunnies will eat it away little by little. It made me think, regardless of how we offer the cardboard boxes to bunnies, they could always eat cardboard boxes whether it's discarded or remade into some extravagant gift, because of that, I was inspired by that aspect alone.

I did an observation of bunnies eating cardboard, a youtube video by Boowie Bunny in which their bunny, Chewie, consumes bits of their other bunny's, Boochin's, 'property'. The property is a reused cardboard box fashioned like a small house, complete with a sign written with 'Boochin's property'. In which Chewie, chewed bits of the sign away. This reinforces my inspiration, being that regardless of a human's intention when giving the cardboard box to their bunnies, they will always chew it away regardless of how many times we try to stop them.
