WHEN AM I ENOUGH TO DESERVE HUMANITY? Is a a series of 4 posters.

“To design better for non-human animals, we need to stop thinking in extractive ways and allow for the complexity of the natural world to exist alongside our own understanding of the world. The problem is a systemic problem and therefore needs to start with understanding how our language, our rules and our thoughts exclude and other, non-human animals as well as humans (i.e. marginalized groups). My posters are a reflection of my research, in which I unpack the complex interplay of systemic and structural problems that have led us to our current human-centered egoistic approach. In this work, I want to put the questions and thoughts regarding our own human ego at the center of the problem so as to, in turn, criticize it and give space for discussion and reflection on it.” - Hooi-Ying
