I used a single grayscale tone to remove the interference of color and let the audience focus more on the transformation of the form. The grayscale processing increases the texture of the picture, making the image appear both real and hazy, like an image slightly removed from reality, and this sense of uncertainty reminds people of the fuzzy boundary of "human and animal".

I used lead powder to blur the boundaries of the features in the work. This sense of obscurity not only increases the audience's desire to explore but also naturally integrates human and animal elements together. Changes in the direction and force of the strokes also enhance the three-dimensional and moving sense of the picture.

In the work, the facial features appear clearer than the rest, while the surrounding areas are contrasted by blurring, a selective refinement technique that subtly directs the viewer's eye to the most animal-like parts. This focus not only highlights the animal's characteristics but also makes it more shocking and allows the audience to unconsciously resonate emotionally. This also allowed me to create a motion blur effect. This effect creates a visual sense of "plausibility", as if the image is emerging from reality. This unstable dynamic makes the viewer's thoughts flow along with it, triggering reflections on the fluidity of human identity and animality.

By cleverly utilizing structural transitions, such as gradual changes in morphology from nose to mouth, the viewer is able to naturally accept this cross-species image. It is hoped that the viewer will not have a sense of rejection when appreciating, but will be more easily integrated into the picture, so as to think more deeply about the relationship between humans and animals.
