The Jester's Privilege

I explored the capabilities of HTML/CSS in the creation of this CSS Still Life. Having built an assemblage from found items, I found ways to creatively bring the composition to life within a new, imaginative context.

Inspiration

Assemblage

I created an assemblage of found items in the studio - arranging the shapes in dynamic and playful configurations. The assemblage acted as a starting point for my still life, providing fundamental structures that I later diverged from with greater creative freedom.

CSS Still Life

The final still life dives into a realm of vibrant colors and playful clowns, immersing itself in a concept that makes me laugh - The Jester's Privilege: "The ability and right of a jester to talk and mock freely without being punished, as nothing he says seems to matter."
