I enjoy the developing part of the process, coming up with ideas that vary from one another before narrowing them down or merging some together. My what if questions go as follow:
what if… ocean levels rise and flood the entire world?
what if… there is an entire functioning society beyond the brine pools?
what if… fish live on land and can swim through the air?
what if… oxygen is a toxin that is slowly killing us?
what if… you wake up one day and everyone else in the world has disappeared?
Fish living on land feels like an idea that I can really explore in-depth. How would they interact with each other? With humans? I find that fish swimming around without the pull of gravity holding them back and living amongst a man-made urban space would create an interesting juxtaposition.
Would they divide into different countries and continents nearest to their native land? Would the more vicious predators living among the woods? I imagine the interaction between them and humans would simply be that of co-existence, somewhat similar to humans with pigeons on the streets.
It was interesting to see the different moods and situations provided by different artists under the same theme. I gathered images with interesting colour palettes, varying tones and compositions, as well as narrative pieces that tell a story.
