Working Thesis

Our human relationship to the world is molded by an inherent urge to blend in with our surroundings.

Thesis attempts

-Advertising lies somewhere between a fine line of standing out and blending in
-Advertising straddles between standing out and blending in
-We as humans have a need to grow into our built environment
-We as humans have a need to grow into our surroundings
-We human beings are struck by an urge to camouflage with our surroundings
-We human beings camouflage in society to become accepted (through the use of clothing, speech, mannerisms and many other conscious or unconscious choices)
