Absurdism

The concept of the poster was inspired by the philosophy of the absurd — the compulsive search for meaning where there is none. As we vainly seek wholeness, the elements of our reality are abstracted into smaller and smaller parts, until they become pervasive noise. The more we try to make sense of it, the more it becomes unintelligible. And yet, we try.

Drowning in Plastic

The increasing amount of plastic in our oceans changes the life of millions of sea creatures. They are literally drowning in plastic. Therefore, this idea raises the question how long it may take until this flood of plastic will be washed to our shores and drown humanity? Do not ignore the threats of plastic for our planet just because you do not see it.

We are the people

This poster depicts a political slogan chanted in the Monday demonstrations in 1989/1990, as a protest against the GDR government.

Nowadays the masses have found the internet to voice protest and express their opinion. Anytime and immediately on can exert influence through online petitions, in comment sections or by hitting like buttons. The poster shows this shift in our culture of demonstration by a swarm of mouse pointers and thereby shows how a large number of individual elements can shape the public understanding.

Scataract

Right-wing populist parties in Europe have been gaining strength for years. Simple answers to complex questions turn them into stars of the modern age. This poster is an appeal: Don’t trust anyone blindly!

The Light

Light, symbolizing life, happiness, hope, justice and sacredness, conveys the most glorious and spectacular impression to mankind. While it has a guiding role, it can also cause the instinctive excitement and joy of all things of life. But we are at home with mobile phones in our hands, so where is the hope of mankind now? Where does this light lead us? Maybe in the next generation.

I’m afraid when my dad comes home!

My poster represent the fear that children feels when they are abused from their own fathers. The poster is like the shoe of the father when he is coming home and at the same time is like the door of the home with the afraid eyes of the child.

Africa

It is the second largest continent of the world. More than 1.000.000.000 people live here, spread over 54 different countries. Its territory covers about 30.200.000 km² and is split up into 6 time zones. More than 2000 languages are spoken on this continent. But still, over and over again, we only talk about “Africa”.

The cruelty of female genital mutilation

Female genital mutilation is a terrible situation for women, especially in Africa.
In this procedure knifes, razors or scissors are used.

Pay raise

Despite the social consensus for equality between women and men, the actual gender equality has still not really been enforced. There are many hidden and rather inconspicuous scenarios of gender discrimination, but one of the most obvious injustices is the difference in payment between men and women engaged in the same occupation. And this is only influenced by a small physical difference. And even more important: it doesn´t have any affect on the performance in any way. It´s just ridiculous, that´s why we want to put things right with this poster!

#freepalestine

October 7, 2023: Another chapter in decades of genocide.
In 1947, the United Nations proposed the partition of Palestine into two states: one Arab, one Jewish. According to the plan, 44% of the land was to go to 1.3 million Palestinians, while 600,000 Jews would receive 55%. This would have made Palestinians a minority in their own homeland. The two states were to be economically connected, but the Arab state and Palestinian leadership rejected the plan. It was never implemented.
Israel was founded, and war broke out. To this day, Palestinians are being displaced from their towns and villages.

Müllfisch

In einem riesigen Strudel im Nordpazifik kreisen derzeit etwa drei Millionen Tonnen Kunststoffabfälle – Tendenz steigend. Neben den unmittelbaren und offensichtlichen Folgen für die Tierwelt sind die langfristigen Folgen für den Menschen, der am Ende der Nahrungskette steht, derzeit noch nicht geklärt. Fest steht: Dieser Müll bedroht das sensible Ökosystem der Meere und die Tiere, die in ihm leben und trotzdem auf dem Teller landen.

The delivery of new toys – HIMARS

My poster depicts military equipment as toy models. Politicians, seated comfortably in safe places, eating lavish meals, decide the fate of others — treating war and the deaths of innocent people like a game. This work is a protest against that kind of leadership.

Fuck the Wage Gap

In 2015, women in the United States were paid roughly 79¢ for every dollar men were. While this image depicts one regional statistic, the broader objective is to call attention to the myriad injustices faced predominantly by women in the workforce. In addition to unequal pay, issues like sexual harassment, biased dress codes, and lack of paid and/or adequate family leave continue to plague workers throughout much of the world.

When you are working in the creative industry for example, you probably love what you do. Being busy with your work all the time seems almost natural. The Poster is a little reminder that there are still other worlds you can enter.

Obese Germany

67% of men and 53% of women in Germany are overweight (RKI). Both an unhealthy diet and lack of exercise can be actively changed! The number of clinically obese patients has doubled over the course of five years. Where is this trend heading? McDonalds and the like are not changing course: they still use glossy advertising, sweepstakes and toys for the little ones, to market their product. Aside from toys you might also get diabetes, cancer and fatty liver, for no extra charge!

FIND

The message of my poster titled Find (or Lelet in Hungarian) is that if humanity will not change in its attitude towards the environment, then the legacy that left on Earth will be only the accummulated heaps of garbage. Waste that takes ages to break down and the overuse of plastics are becoming more and more important topics, in my opinion. My poster is meant to bring attention to this problem.

I would like environmental pollution to become our history and for humankind to strive to eradicate even its memory for the future generations.

Not always a game

This poster shows the game world of a small child with the central theme of war, the Kalashnikov, build out of blocks. War is not a game and children should not be tempted to the use of weapons, either caused by media in our western culture or as child soldiers in armed conflicts.

Darfur

In Darfur a civil war has cost 300.000 human lives and let 2,5 million people to flee the country since 2003. The government backed mounted militias “Dschandschawid” destroy villages, massacring and raping the population. Famine and draught further worsen the lives of the people. In the media everyday life we don´t hear much about Darfur. Many can´t even place the word. Because of this “Darfur” for me stands for the injustice in the world that we don´t know about or possibly don´t want to know about. It might be worth it to reflect on what is truly important in life and the world.

Biological Evolution

This work uses fingers and animals to combine graphic creativity. Because of the destruction of the nature of human beings, the killing of living things, so the creatures continue to evolve, mutate into colorful colors, but also grow human hands, in an attempt to resist this evil. Hope to warn people not to kill animals, care about the current global environmental problems.

According to Wikipedia, there are more than 30 ongoing military conflicts all over the world – excluding riots like the current ones in Turkey. Most of the conflicts are still faded out from public attention, even though social media puts us into the position of observers and confidants.
