Marcel Duchamp's fountain is one of the most famous Dadaism readymade artworks questioning the definition of artworks. Inspired by Dadaism readymade, Dragonfly questioned the definition of human beings. Defined through appearance, a human is composed of covered skin and a hidden skeleton. However, the creature with the combination of simulated human skin and skeleton is not human. What is the creature? And what can the new creature bring to human beings?
Anthropocentrism proposes humans regard themselves as the centre of the world. By creating useless creatures that contain human features, the artist would like to avoid the idea of human centralization.
