Lampedusa – After the horrible migration tragedy happened on October 3, 2013, close to the coasts of the little Italian island of Lampedusa, I wanted to dedicate a piece to that strong bulwark of peace that is Lampedusa. I overlapped 3 messages on my poster: the chronicle of the even happened on October 3rd, the names of the survived migrants (only 155 over 518) and the recents statistics about the numbers of migrants arrived to Lampedusa in the last year. Each message is on a separate layer, one layer is yellow, one is magenta, one is red. Hidden is my personal take, you need a red lens to reveal it and be able to read it.

Chaircuterie – My posters for the AIGA Colorado and Design Council of the Denver Art Museum celebration of AIGA’s Centennial year with Chaircuterie. The event showcased 100 stellar creatives who crafted 25 full-size chairs, 50 miniature chairs and 25 two-dimensional chair representations.

If Men Could Menstruate – I felt inspired by the concept and I tried to illustrate the change of perspective that Gloria Steinem presented in her article “If Men Could Menstruate” (1978). She uniquely introduced a true and accurate stance on gender distinction based on the fact that any and almost every thing has been used to promote male superiority and female inferiority. Steinem showed women their relative voiceless-ness, and in this way, suggested that there is work to be done yet in the feminist movement on account of the fact that oppressive, patriarchal logic continued to sanction gender inequality.

There has always been a “double standard” between men and women, preventing women from acting a certain way because it goes against social norms. While menstruation and child barring have portrayed women as being weak in the eyes of men, I believe that it is plausible that if the roles were reversed men would see it has a sign of power that they had the ability to bring life into the world.
