Anthropomorphic figures

Anthropomorphic figures are representations of objects, animals, or abstract ideas that are given human-like characteristics or qualities. For example, they may have human facial features, gestures, or emotions. Artists and designers often use anthropomorphism to make non-human things more relatable or expressive, such as statues with human expressions or characters in stories that behave like people. This technique helps convey meaning, invoke empathy, or create a connection between the viewer and the depicted subject. It’s commonly found in art, literature, animation, and design to bridge the gap between the familiar human experience and the subject being portrayed.
