What is Juxtaposition?

Juxtaposition can be defined as placing two variable, side by side and their contrast or similarity are shown through comparison. Many creative processes rely on juxtaposition. By juxtaposing two objects or words next to each other, human brain will automatically associate or transfer meaning. Usually ‘turning’ something familiar to something less familiar or vice-versa.

The process is like this
1)Identify your problem
2)to place two objects or words next to each other. What automatically happens is that there is transference of meaning. Usually from something familiar to something less
3)Then make a small logical mind map
4)Relate your problem with the mind map and create a drawing or poem



Here is some juxtaposition works
