Image 3. This image was found online. At the beginning as you can see I drew on top of the figures, later on I drew a black and white version which led me to make a design very similar to this was on a linoleum and made the linoleum print you can see in the project Conformity and loss of individuality.

Image 1.I began taking some photos from my everyday life and used some that I found from the Internet that portray everyday life, in order to show everyday conformity. I printed out the photographs and drew on top of the people portrayed in the images to create beings that are melting in order to be reformed in what is acceptable by society. Images 1,2 and 4 are photographs from y own life, portraying me and friends and Image 3 is a photograph I found online.
