Refugees
The objective of this project was to design a street poster for Montreal, centered around the theme of refugees. It was crucial to convey the narrative of trauma. I adopted an abstract approach, using the butterfly as a metaphor to reflect the vulnerability of refugees and the challenges they face when leaving their homeland. To achieve this, I employed illustration techniques, combining pastel with digital effects such as blending and distortion filters in Photoshop, creating a sense of suffering and fragmentation. The final artwork embodies ‘quiet chaos’, it is both chaotic and subdued, like a visualized poem. I believe the themes of suffering and displacement are effectively captured in this piece.
