I Want To Be Human
我想成为人类
Comic
2022This comic is inspired by “uncanny valley” theory - as something becomes more human-like, we feel more familiar with it, until it becomes too realistic and starts to feel unsettling. Today, many people chase perfect looks through plastic surgery, often losing their identity in the process. Through this comic, I want to say: there is no need to look like everyone else - our uniqueness is what makes us special.
