Everyday Forms

Author: slanted-api

'Everyday Forms' is an ongoing drawing project that delves into the boundaries of shapes. Inspired by the 'prototype theory' from linguistics and cognitive psychology, the project examines how central examples define categories. Prototype theory suggests that objects are classified based on a typical form rather than rigid rules. This is evident in how cultural backgrounds influence interpretations of graphics, such as pictograms and Japanese characters.
