Penguin, Shrimp, Surrogacy

This project is a personal interpretation based on the food chain and the processes and cases within the surrogacy industry. It presents a scenario in which a penguin seeks a shrimp as its surrogate mother, creating an unexpected imaginary situation that invites contemplation. This metaphorical exploration challenges prevailing social norms and encourages a reevaluation of the perspectives embedded within societal constructs.
