Wonderland: Digital Metamorphosis into the Hand-drawn Concept Art for the Conceptual Art Book

Abstract

In literature, satire is a genre that depicts humor and irony to mock and criticize the stupidity, hypocrisy, and intended shortcomings of individuals or groups of people, society, nations. This type of approach to literature has been used for decades to criticize people in a position of power specially politicians, sometimes monarchs. However, the sole purpose of satire is not entirely to poke fun at individuals or groups of people. It also has a hidden agenda that is inspiring change in society and people. Sometimes, suppose the people in power have too much dominance over society or people they rule over. In that case, satire cannot do much other than being a type or genre of literary entertainment only and be a form of silent protest. The main objective of this study is to create a conceptual art book depicting most of the social issues, if not all, mock & expose the hypocrisy and the double standards of individuals and groups and attempt to send a message. This work of art does not define any non-existing country, society, or entity in any way. All situations have some form of relation to reality as the goal is to show what we choose not to see and talk about. One could say the entire work describes an existing world where "freedom" is at its peak, where all sorts of acts, regardless of how horrible or good, can be committed with utmost joy. Each scene is carefully thought out to deliver the best possible message and describe these scenarios.
