This poster – my submission for the Anfachen Award – explores justice as a question of personal accountability. “Can you still look me in the eye?” confronts the viewer with their own conscience and invites reflection on their actions, privileges, and responsibilities – because justice begins with each of us.

“See or be seen” highlights the tension between witnessing injustice and staying silent. Do we look away when faced with inequality, or do we choose to face it? Justice is not passive. It requires awareness, visibility, and the courage to truly see – both ourselves and others.

The eyes resemble a globe, suggesting that we are asked to look the world in the eye – and question whether what we do to it is just. At the same time, they evoke surveillance, as if our actions are being constantly observed. The pixelated aesthetic reinforces this sense of being watched and held accountable.

Poster created for the international open call “Fight for Kindness” — typographic messages to inspire a kinder world, accompanied by a custom grid-based typeface.

“Go All In” is a call to commit to kindness.

Inspired by the idea of putting everything on one card, or rather, everything on the heart, the work transforms a simple system of dots into a growing, almost hypnotic pattern of love.

What starts as a controlled structure slowly becomes more organic and alive, forming a heart at its center. Shapes overlap, connect, and expand like kindness in motion: spreading, multiplying, and bringing people together. A visual metaphor for community and human connection.

Light yet intense, fragile yet bold, the visual language reflects the complexity of love. Vibrant colors express its diversity, while the custom type evolves from individual dots into part of the system itself.

At its core, a simple message:
Go all in with your love and something meaningful can grow.
