Everyday Struggles
California based designer Catrina Dulay lived “A great deal in my active imagination while I was growing up, and I still do, which is nice.” On her simplistic but oh-so-true series “In A Perfect World”: “Waking up at the wrong time because “PM” instead of “AM” was set up, the page’s left edge rips because the perforations don’t tear cleanly, the other sock in the pair goes missing, and so forth. These are all normal happenings that exist in our imperfect day-to-day lives and this series of simple illustrations points out what a perfect world would be like without such disruptions. It’s an on-going project that I started in order to “celebrate” our everyday nuisances. It can also be seen as a means of discovering things that a lot of different people can relate to and think, “Yes! I hate it when that happens!” This series is not meant to show big problems or complaints. It’s just for people’s enjoyment.” And enjoyment it is.
