When do people feel empathy?
In today's overwhelming world full of information, nothing can reach us for more than a couple of minutes. The minutes we spend before scrolling down to the next post on social media. A child with stage four cancer, the ruins of a city in Ukraine, women fighting for fundamental rights in Iran, and in between, funny cat videos, your ex's holidays, and a bunch of promotional bullshit.
It is not our fault, it is how social media have invaded our life and merged with our everyday realm. Image is not enough to strike us anymore. Not because it is not powerful but because there are too many of them, and they all reach us through the same mediums.
lmages are representation tools.
Through this project, I want to research whether another representation tool like the scale model could stimulate empathy.
