JELLY BABY

    Introdution

    JELLY BABY sometimes donned the appearance of a small animal, seduces you to stare at it, eat it; chemically formulated juice explodes in your mouth, staining the tongue with fluorescent colors. JELLY BABY is the accumulation of desires, liquefied, glitter, and explosions, which makes people addicted again and again. JELLY BABY is you and is us. Like a fluorescent virus, it infiltrates daily life through the media industry and social media where it expands the people’s imagination of appearance. We will follow the way our favorite celebrities dress and “upgrade” ourselves to become objects of desire in the eyes of others. In this desire factory that we called the Internet, everyone is a JELLY BABY.
