DO IT WITHOUT THINKING OF CRITICS
We believe that expression should not be fade by the fear of being criticized by others. To illustrate this maxim, we created some large scale types by using only white cloths,
paper and thread on natural landscapes as background.

People could walk around the city of Percé and see the whole serie of images dispached in the landscape.

INSTABILITY SHAPES CREATIVITY
While travelling, we have learned that the imagination and the capacity to create is often multiplied when put in strange situations or when feeling uncomfortable, .
We think that these situations can be useful and that creatives should take advantage of them.

As we were in a town and an environnement we didn't know, we explored different areas and focused on some that caught more our attention, and used different tools we had on board,
objects, digital animation and even Mr. Sagmeister to create the maxim.
