HYARBOLE takes on several roles: an art piece, an iconic structure, and a visual identity for Rhode Island College. With qualities elicited from its several stages of development, the completed HYPARBOLE celebrates the notions of place, perception, and innovation. In the end, its unfamiliar form draws different comparisons: a genie's magic lamp, a sea creature, a pleated skirt. Its whimsical nature is one of THEVERYMANY mischievous ways we keep you guessing.
