设计师发布的第一组素材CALERDAR系列即已公开反对侵权，抵制从著名艺术品中复制人物素材的行为。随后发布的素材ARCHIFUNKY系列又将关注点放在了扩大人物的肤色，能力及性别范围。这次新的素材NEUTRA系列则试图代表极富争议性的无性别社会：爵士风的剪影人既不是男性也不是女性，他们拥有闪耀的眼睛，乳头和肚脐。新系列除网上提供的数字免费版，还为剪影人制作了30套印刷版日历。

While the first set, CALENDAR, openly stands against copyright infringements (characters are still too often borrowed from well-known works of art) and ARCHIFUNKY focuses on skin colour, different ability and a wider gender spectrum, this new NEUTRA collection is a provocative representation of a more gender-fluid society: the new jazzy cutouts are neither male nor female, flaunting eyes, nipples and belly buttons. This set is accompanied by a limited series of 30 printed calendars and a digital free format available on the website.

在对NEUTRA的设计说明中Perani阐述到，设计对现实的呈现总是有失公允，受这种不公正设计的警醒，建筑的可视化表达需要摆脱过度的刻板印象。Perani是一名建筑活动家，她因相信创意分享的力量而提供免费的设计素材，希望其能够成为专业领域的有效工具，不仅改变效果图的表达趋势，更给予设计师们思想上的激励。
In her illustrative design work, Perani calls time on the misrepresentation of reality as an unfair, unequally designed space convinced that architecture visualisation narratives need to move away from overused stereotypes. She is an architecture activist and a firm believer in the power of shared creativity thus offering free design tools as an effective instrument to bring about change in the profession, not only in visual renderings but in the mind of those who designed them.
