Tell me what the future looks like and I’ll let you know who you are.

After all, has it always been our discipline to anticipate the future. In times of terrible prognosis we only want to turn around and not say or dare to say anything about what the future might hold. We only want to be human until the artificial intelligences deny our children their humanity and then leave. Not because they are less intelligent, more because we did not know how to survive. And that is all I can say about being human.

In light to the worldwide news we are facing between a pandemic, riots, revolutions, and unnoticed wars, this is a response that aims to revolt its own message of all lives matter, of all voices matter, of coexistence matters. It is merely a reminder, that we live in a world where there are bigger things than what we just see or experience around us that matter. Our existence is shaped by everything surrounding us including the new adoptions of different normals.

Coexisting means order. To create an aesthetic and oderly future we must create parallel spaces and keep distances which respect the others yet still make us able to act. Design is a tool to show graphic elements coexist and live in a peacefully and calm correlation. It is now more important than ever to translate this shown cited vocabulary in our daily lives to create an aesthetic future.

Coexist as an international statement. The term
is known but the shape of the word differs from
language to language. We have to think, act and also write as a global community in 2020.

If you want change, then you must ask for it

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.
