ProfessionalWhy did you make this work:
I was helping with the cleanup of marine debris on a local beach in Hong Kong, in the aftermath of the strongest typhoon on record to sweep through the city in 2018. The situation was so devastating that I decided to collect some of the trash and make a poster to show people what I found.
How was the illustration used: Poster
How did you make this work: Remixing drawings with carefully-photographed beach trash to create a playful spin on the usually somber aftermath of a natural disaster. This poster reflects what I saw that day on the beach — even though the beach is full of rubbish and bad odors, there were plenty of people sunbathing and carrying on with all sorts of beach activities as usual, which makes the scene even more absurd.
