A propaganda poster about Plato’s ‘Allegory of the Cave’ from the perspective of a cave dweller persuading the escapee to return to the cave. This postcard is about embracing the comfort, safety, and predictability of the cave’s shadows rather than the uncertain light beyond.
Behind the Scenes:
Throughout both in high school and colleges, I have read Plato’s ‘Allegory of the Cave’ numerous of times and when tasked with creating a propaganda poster in 2024, I knew I wanted to make a vacation themed postcard (except it’s a bit sinister) from the perspective of the cave dweller. I wanted to highlight the views of the cave dwellers that didn’t want to risk the unknown and break free from captivity. I thought about what they would say to reason against freedom like safety and security. In 2025, I wanted to revisit this project with the tools and knowledge I learned about Blender and used that to create my own mockups.
