INVOLUTION2023




Poster | Video | Installation 


"Involution" emerges from the societal buzzword depicting a relentless internal competition that ironically leads to diminishing returns, despite increased efforts. This design project peels back the layers of this cultural pattern to reveal its implications in various industries.The cornerstone of this project is a poster design that employs hyperbole to critique the manic competition in the press-on nails industry—an art I practice with passion. By showcasing an unrealistically steep discount, the poster highlights the absurdity of undercutting in a saturated market, questioning the sustainability of such cut-throat business practices.


   


VideoComplementing the poster is a video that visualizes the involution phenomenon through a narrative arc, where manicurists engage in a downward spiral of competitive bidding to win a client, offering a poignant commentary on the broader economic and societal effects of this trend.







"Involution" is more than a design project; it is a mirror held up to the convoluted 
reality of modern competition, asking viewers to contemplate the cost of progress 
when progress itself becomes the trap.
