I aim to create a world devastated by a zombie apocalypse, where characters must fight to survive. The zombies will serve as a metaphor for conformity, representing the loss of
individuality, critical thinking, and personal agency in favour of mindless group behaviour. Much like societal pressures that push people to follow norms without reflection, the fear of becoming a zombie mirrors the fear of losing one’s uniqueness in a system that prioritizes uniformity over creativity or self-expression. In contrast, the living characters struggling against the zombie hordes will symbolize non-conformity. They will be designed to represent minority groups, including individuals with disabilities, neurodiversity, and gender non-conformity, emphasising themes of resistance, identity, and survival.
