KÖHlor Your World; Same Same but Different
###
Most things around us are peas from the same pod -- Portrayals modified onto various skins. Agree?
In urban dictionary, this would perhaps translate to a 'Same Same but Different' phenomenon.
I was inspired by the KÖH Lamp that manifests itself in the form of the ubiquitous 'jerry can', or jerry canister. Taking a walk in the neighbourhood, we would ever so often see these containers in its different forms, but do not pay much attention as we go about in our daily lives.
Historically, jerry cans were designed to contain fuel, but have since lent its form and function to contain daily liquid we use, or even consume.
In cosmopolitan Singapore we often see fruit juice and milk contained in plastic containers that are shaped 'same same but different' as those old-time war cans.
One can also spot these lookalike containers along factories, petrol kiosks or provision shops. These would likely contain liquid detergent or dishwashing liquid. In another skin, these plastic containers are used to store water for gardening in our Housing Development Board (HDB) estates.
In this incarnation, the jerry can turns the expected into the unexpected, by morphing into a lamp.
Take a look at this series, inspired by how the 'green' from the lamp mingles with the urban environment it lights up.
See, imagine and follow how the lamp's illuminating light replaces another element – water, dancing out of the canister and eager to break free from a definite shape, turning a familiar, immediate world into an unfamiliar, alternate world.

Been a bit off-balance this week over at mum and dads place. Kit has returned to congleton and I will head home at the weekend. Mind you - as long as there's a web connection - the computer's right at home. :)
The bus stop is at the docklands.
I think that it is the same chap in the reflection that I have seen elsewhere!

Just like pastries with the same name, this bar smells great! But please don't eat! The lemon essential oil is an antimicrobial and helps clean greasy skin. Along with poppyseeds, this soap will help remove dead skin cells.

August 3, 2012 is National Same-Sex Kiss Day in the US. This is in support of marriage equality and in support of the boycott of Chick Fil-A Restaurants, who have donated over $5 Million to organizations that not only lobby against marriage equality but also promote other anti-gay messages. Those who are supporting Chick Fil-A are claiming this is all about the right to free speech, but it's about so much more than that,
Companies and individuals have every right to speak their minds, and I support that right for everyone whether I agree with their opinion or not, but because Chick Fil-A is putting their dollars into causes that seek to deprive us of our rights, we have made the decision to no longer fund their agenda.
This is for gentlemen obviously. The ladies should go here: www.flickr.com/photos/apple-candy/49355524/
