The Pig Model

One thing can mean completely different things depending on who is looking. A pig is food to a wolf, income to a farmer, inspiration to a poet, a patient to a vet. Same pig, four realities.

Start

How it works

Four views on one thing

1. We drop a thing in the middle and four observers around it.
2. For each observer, write what they would see it as.
3. Look across the four — how differently does the same thing read?
4. Reshuffle for a new mix, or download your finished sheet.

Now sit with it

Look across the four

• What surprised you?
• Whose view feels closest to your own?
• Who is missing from the circle?
• If you swapped the thing in the middle, what would change?
