Soldier Soldier

Soldier Soldier

A play on visual contrast and meaning. Are they a general collective in that they act and do things on the same purpose, or are they specific in that each person is unique and individual to each speciality?

Soldier – the collective
Soldier – the individual

2 Questions:

Soldier Soldier – Which comes first?
What’s more important? – the Group or the Individual?

Visually it’s the dominance of the blue guys contasted by the break of the red. First glance you should be drawn to “lil’ red” hehe and see his uniqueness then you look around to see a sea of blue, but then you look even closer and you realise they all are unique like him too.

I love the pattern it creates too :)

Enjoy a sneaky peaky of the details!


Enjoy!

Soldier Soldier belongs to the following groups:

    Hey Megan =)

    Basically it’s a play on visual contrast and meaning… are they all alike in that they act and do things on purpose, or are they specific in that each person is unique and individual and are just classed together?

    Sort of like what’s more important – the Group or the Individual?

    Visually it’s the dominance of the blue guys contasted by the break of the red. First glance you should be drawn to “lil’ red” hehe and see his uniqueness then you look around to see a sea of blue, but then you look even closer and you realise they all are unique like him too =)

    Ok mini essay =) Thanks for the Q! I should have put this on the details area huh? :p

    djjosedecastro in reply to Megan Dacy’s comment, 6 days ago

    Forgot to say the play on words of the title too =)

    Soldier – the collective of what they are
    Soldier – the individual

    Soldier Soldier – Which comes first is the question!
