Give & Take
Illustration, Publication, Interactive Design
I have always been fascinate by how different species interact with one another. There are many different types of symbiotic relationships found in nature. However, not all partnerships benefit both organisms. I am fascinated by the ones which do. Give & Take is a short and interactive zine that explores the symbiotic relationship between honey bees and flowers. I aim to utilize this observation as a way to reevaluate our relationship with our own environment. How do we look beyond something as seemly normal to us as a bee on a flower? My work always begin with questions. Why cant we be more like bees and flowers? Why cant we give as much as we take?
Through illustrations and informational text, the publication highlights how each species depends on the other for survival and the essential role they play in maintaining healthy ecosystems.The zine unfolds into a full-size poster on the reverse side, transforming the publication into a display poster that reinforces its message beyond the reading experience
