“Life’s Illusion” is inspired by the song “Both sides now” from Joni Mitchell.
The song explains the story about how we change perspectives once we grow up. As children we have a natural optimism towards life. While as adults we learn a brutal honesty, seeing things for what they really are.
The song shows the contrast of life and growing up. Ending with the line “I really don’t know life at all”, a bittersweet and sincere line that appeals to anyone hurt by something that once brought them joy.
In the collection you can see this contrast by using different colours, asymmetry and a contrast in materials.
