a combat of the commercialization of illustrative figurine art mass production by handbuilding ceramic sculptures to convey the independently acquired, yet shared emotions of animals and humans. i see animals the same as humans, but with the indication of their tail to dictate their status of being an animal. regardless of having a tail or no tail, we are all living creatures capable of feeling the same states of silliness, solitude, ambition, acceptance, insecurity, and loneliness, and can be individualistic from the hopes retrieved of already existent cartoon versions of animals and humans created by other illustration artists. the visual execution of humor and cuteness i have installed in each character intends to convey the reality of raw emotions living through independence with a positive and warmer approach, inspired by the mannerisms many figurine collections tend to use in general. these figurines embrace vulnerability, childlike honesty, and individualism, while contrasting the mass-produced standards of commercial figurines by nonadjacent installations.
