Well, sometimes, it’s not always easy. May it be minor issues or large scale problems. We’re living in a multilayered, complex and eclectic conglomerate of one world. Help out. Show empathy. Make life better everyday. Step by step. Coexist

Well, sometimes, it’s not always easy. May it be minor issues or large scale problems. We’re living in a multilayered, complex and eclectic world. Help out. Show empathy. Make life better everyday. Because we’re living all together. All together, we coexist.

We are a community.

Being consistent in our times is truly the most difficult challenge. common sense is the least common of the senses

I was working late night and thought about a good idea for the poster for COEXIST. Then I saw my keyboard with the three buttons, “control”, “option” and “command”. While control and command are words, which are more close to symbolizing opression, the word option is the key to open the door to a more progressive society.

Historically, there is this perception of the Taegeuk icon in Asia, as a representation of perfect harmony. Yin and Yang and some state of ultimate continuity. But I continue to see that perhaps it is not a perfect harmony we should be striving for, but perhaps better said, an imperfect harmony. A realization that perhaps in perfection lies the problem. And that we truly are all, anywhere and always far from perfect. Perhaps, it is harmony through imperfection.

(2) In a free society, gender and sexual orientation play no role. By playing with gender symbols – their mixing, breaking up and rearranging – I question outdated social conventions and call for an open society.

(1) The distinction of people into nationalities is superfluous and must be urgently reconsidered in order to achieve peaceful coexistence. This breaking down of borders starts at your own garden fence!

There is hope after despair and many suns after darkness. — Rumi

“O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other (not that you may despise each other). Verily the most honoured among you in the sight of God is the most righteous of you.”
[ Quran 49 : 13 ]

Dialogue is our most powerful weapon… even Wild Animals can live in balance!

The following poster is in part inspired by the idea of borders and what that means in today’s context. By taking visual cues of map outlines and merging, distorting, and erasing them I’m attempting to create imagined landscapes that speak to the fragmented and disorienting nature of what it means to live in a globalized yet very divided world.

Two jobs coexist, sharing the same mission of protecting and saving people. But the reality tells a different story.

Power to the people

UNITY THROUGH DESIGN. POWER TO THE PEOPLE. COEXIST.

It may feel naive to hope for, but peace is power. It rises from the ash of protest.

Actually, we are living in a society with extreme thoughts, intolerance and violence. In front of these, we claim for peace above all else.

In June 2020, when we are still recovering from the shock of Covid, American society rises up against racism and police violence. Millions of people join this initiative all over the world and we don’t want to miss the opportunity to express our support, because, Yes Black Can!
