NEON’S LIGHT

Audience

office wokers age between 20-50

This picture book tells the story of a firefly called Neon who yearns for city life and comes to work in the city from the forest where he lives. In order to stay in the city he joins a design company, which is designed according to the template. The work mode caused Neon to fall into anxiety, and finally his practices and thoughts infected his colleagues, and a single spark was able to start a prairie fire.

The inspiration for the project comes from the current reality of workplace pressure in China. At present, 996 has become a norm in most companies in China, that is, going to work at 9AM and leaving work at 9PM, and working six days a week. However this deformed working state makes young people more and more stripped of themselves. I hope that through this project, I can reflect on today's high-pressure working environment. Through this project, office workers can find their own shadows and find themselves in their working environment.

Inspiration Primary Research

My inspiration comes from Ma Yun's saying "996 is a blessing".

large companies such as Alibaba and Tencent, and collected their thoughts on working in large companies.

Through interviews, found that in relatively large companies, there is a saying of "gifting names". Using nicknames to name them weakens the sense of presence of employees in the company and facilitates company management.

There are advantages and disadvantages to this practice of naming names. From a positive point of view, calling each other nicknames between leaders and colleagues is conducive to shortening the distance between each other, blurring the sense of hierarchy, and avoiding greater problems caused by fear of being rude when encountering problems; negatively, this is the company's PUA Advanced means, abandon your original name, forget what you are here for, and be a working machine honestly.

Scene reference

A company in Shenzhen installed a camera on the workstation. Monitor whether employees are working seriously in the workplace at any time.

In China, there has been an idiom since ancient times, "be a cow and a horse". Cows and horses are metaphors for people who are ordered by others.

Today's entrepreneurs treat employees like animals and let them work hard like cattle and horses, which is the best reward for the company.

Simply put, "workplace PUA" is the mental control of the superiors on the subordinates in the workplace. The company leaders use the way of denying you to fool you into acting like a cow for the company. If you leave this company, you will be useless and unable to gain a foothold in society. You can only work hard in this company to prove yourself, and you will fall into a vicious circle. In

But humans have thoughts, which is not the same as animals that only work hard. In this project, I have the idea of drawing people as animals.

Replace human beings with animal images, or anthropomorphize animals, so that things that do not have human actions and emotions have actions and emotions, which is more appealing.

Date Introduction

In this project, I drew a series of six illustrations, and finally made an installation and photographed it. This project was inspired by the use of live fish in one of my family's sacrificial rituals. Watching the loss of life, I couldn't help but think of the countless animals that have sacrificed for human actions from ancient times to the present. Especially in the fields of medicine and cosmetics. In the field of medicine, it is impossible for a doctor to put a rabbit on the operating table without dissecting it, and it is impossible for drugs to be directly clinical without animal experiments. The road of human selfish scientific development is covered with their corpses. Yet in many cases, especially in cosmetics, cruelty to animal testing can actually be avoided.

Animals cannot speak, but they can still feel pain.

I hope that through this project, I can remind people not to forget that these animals have sacrificed millions of sufferings for us, remember this heavy responsibility, and hope that human beings can find inanimate experiments one day

The inspiration for this project comes from the fact that the summer in Shanghai in 2022 is very hot. It is not uncommon for birds to suffer from heatstroke due to lack of water in the city I want people to pay more attention to the group of birds, so I proposed the Bird F rst Aid Station plan.

I made three main products to put in the first aid station, and presented my ideas through packaging design and final-use devices.

I hope that this project will make people reflect in this extreme way, do we really need such a future when we see birds carrying such equipment on their backs to sur vive?

In this project I drew a series of fragments about memories and emotions.

The inspiration for this project comes from the last time I failed to see my grandma. At the beginning, I didn’t feel sad when I heard the news of my grandma’s death, but as time passed, whenever I thought about it, I always It is more and more painful. I hope that through this p oject, I can reconcile with my past self let my memory of them plant a small seed in my heart, waiting for a moment in the future to take root and sprout.

The picture of my grandma mending my clothes in front of the sewing machine is vivid in my memory and now I pick up these memories stroke by stroke just like my grandma's stitches and stitches.

Dream Memory is a magical thing, perhaps only time in nature can match its mystery. When we think about memory, we tend to fall into the philosophical myth of who and where am, because memory is to a large extent equal to each of us in the past, and almost equal to ourselves.
