How were your illustrations used? :
Magazine or newspaper cover illustration, Magazine or newspaper inside or spot illustration/s

How did you make this work:
This illustration was created for an article about facial recognition technology. In their plea, the authors argue that this technology is a menace disguised as a gift, since it cannot be procedurally regulated and can easily be exploited.
In order to convey the ambivalence of the dangers and possibilities, I used sharp contrasts: clear-cut shapes, opposing colours, an intense yet cold atmosphere.
