Background

This was a sudden concept when I was drawing sketches for other homework. Sometimes I think our society is like a horrible machine which will tune everyone to fit its rule continuously. A looping gif is suitable to present this non-stop process.

Reference

Toy Story | Bride of Chucky | The X-Files

In my childhood, those baby’s heads scared me a lot. Their image always relates to fear. An ancient sentence, “Man at birth is fundamentally good in nature” ( 人之初，性本善 ).

In my opinion, that sentence is not true. We always discover children hurt the small animals like snail or ant when their parents do not teach them how to respect life. Those actions are pure malice without any cover from natural humanity.

Process

Another reason, I deem part of the society controllers, for example few members of parliament, they are quite naive and look like babies or children with immature brains. After references and thinking, baby’s head had been selected for one element, which had represented fear and the horrible machine ( society ).

The yellow one is person who doesn’t want to fit the rule, however he is still forced to fit it. He will be tuned in blue and die after the process. The blue one, who has an empty head, is used to fit the rule.
