The subject was Fluxus manifesto, and I was trying to document daily experiences according to the spirit of Fluxus. Then I came up with the 3 horrible years in COVID that everyone had suffered, along with the classic novel the Decameron written by Giovanni Boccaccio which contained 100 stories in the Black Death in medieval age. I created 2 characters, Elisssa in 14th century and Panfilo in 2020, and used these 2 persons to tell a dual-narrative timelines.

Then I realized that something has never changed, which is people's hope to the life and finally we can survive from anything.

To start with the project, I decided to pick the color beige which was able to bring the quietness and inner-peace to the audience, because I realized that people were quite aggressive and unfriendly to each other, to the public or to the governments as well. Along with the best friend of graphic designers, grids, everything is gonna be easier to build.

And the social media posts followed the same design system with the poster series. Where I tried to share the confusion, desperate and also the hopeful vibes on it.
