In our present situation, we are more aware of this than ever. We reflect on what is essential and find the time to reflect and take care of each other. COEXIST stands for free personal developement, religious freedom, tolerance and understanding. The implementation was done analogously with ink and should reflect the togetherness in our beautiful contrasting and diverse environment.

i took this picture in march 2020 in the peruian jungle. two monkeys of different species playing and hugging eachother. Just a simple thing, but in Corona times an image full of longings to be back where the primates are in this picture.
COEXIST / NOEXIST
There’s no existence itself, it’s always about coexistence or no-existence.
Everyone have to choice.
FRAGILE LIFE
Life as we know it is fragile – our coexistence is fragile. Let us keep an eye on it and protect it, before it´s broken forever.
coexist(ence) with empathy
With my work I would like to address a very important point in the issue of coexistence. Empathy.
If people were willing to sometimes just listen sincerely or just be there for someone, we would gain so much more. And it takes so little to show empathy. Watch. Listen. Appreciate it. Show your own feelings and communicate them. I think empathy is the secret key to coexistence. To me, coexistence is opening your umbrella to someone and walking a path together.
all equal
Coexistence
The art of living together in harmony.
We are different but equal.
We need to learn looking beyond skin colour,
religion and personal backgrounds,
we are actually more alike than we are different
there is so much more that unites us
than divides us.
We are all striving for happiness and peace
like all human beings.
Reset – Unite – Coexist
A focus on the notion of being given the opportunity to reset our thinking. By taking a step back, putting aside our different beliefs, we can form a unified outlook and help each other push forward to create a better place for everyone to live.

Rule No.1
In order to coexist, rule no.1 could be to switch perspectives. Never mind heritage, sex, politics or religion; if one is able to put themselves in the shoes of others and see the situation from their point of view, a more open dialogue about differences in opinion could be established. As simple as it sounds, this switching of perspectives is currently lacking in our society, where unfortunately the strength of belief in an opinion is often directly related to how well thought out that opinion is. Switching perspectives does not immediately solve any of the larger-than-life issues our society is facing but it could level the playing field, allowing for a more open and honnest debate.

Meltdown Flags
Meltdown Flags is a climate data initiative that visualizes the effects of global glacier retreat by reducing the amount of white in the flags of countries with glaciers.
Glaciers are a source of life—they provide vital drinking water, help generate power for millions of homes, and are our most valuable indicators in understanding the future of global climate change. Without glaciers we would live in a very different world. Complete meltdown would bring sea level rise to a record high, and eliminate 69% of the world’s drinking water. Although not every country may have a glacier, every country depends on their survival.
The goal of this project is to educate about the importance of glaciers, provide solutions to reduce emissions and put pressure on politics to deal with the climate crisis. Meltdown Flags is an open source climate data project initiated by environmental technology company METER. Data sources include METER, UNESCO, NASA, World Glacier Monitoring System (WGMS), United Nations Environmental Programme, the University of Zurich and the University of Innsbruck.
Handsewn flags take the message to the streets. In December 2019, Meltdown Flags made their first appearance at the COP25 in Madrid. Since then, they have become a symbol of protest at climate demonstrations and events around the world.
A website provides more information and ways to act. Visitors can visualize the degree of glacier retreat by country, as well as access more data and information. They can also calculate and offset their carbon footprint. By downloading the flags and custom typeface, they also take part in the initiative.
An interactive exhibition concept adds another dimension. Lenticular installations of the Meltdown Flags help visualize the glacier retreat depending on the position of the viewer. An Instagram AR filter activated by the flags allows visitors and app users alike to immerse themselves in the data.
Meltdown Flags show the past, current and future state of meltdown. Created custom typeface visualise this accelerated melt process through three developed cuts. Starting from 1995, the year of the first United Nations Climate Change Conference, to 2050, the year set out by the UN to reach net-zero emissions and limit global temperature to 1.5 °C.

heart to heart
We might be just like tiny people living in the small world. Let’s open our hearts and understand well each other. We could share the smiles for our future bright life.

Life is the coexistence of all opposite values
Life is the coexistence of all opposite values. Joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, up and down, hot and cold, here and there, light and darkness, birth and death. All experience is by contrast, and one would be meaningless without the other. (Deepak Chopra)

Custom type lettering with its letterforms overlaying one another to represent the nuances and diversities in humanity, that we should appreciate differences and also embrace the similarities that make us people.
Mind the gap // Act wisely
In these times it is more important than ever to stick together. This is the only way we can face and overcome the challenges of our time.
