Apricot Poodle investigates imitation as a mechanism of social belonging by following a seriesof families from different socioeconomic backgrounds who converge in choosing the same breedand color of pet. The apricot-colored poodle becomes a symbol of distinction, and dependingon its meaning for each family—whether as a reflection of their lifestyle or a significant financialeffort—its appearance and care vary across different neighborhoods in the city. The projectinvites reflection on the complexities of social dynamics, revealing how, even under a veneer ofsimilarity, hierarchies and divisions persist, shaping collective identity.
