Plastic

Plastic is a handmade book made from waste plastic instead of paper. Discarded plastic bags and other used plastics are collected and cut by hand into pages. The text and the stickers imitate children's brushstrokes, giving the pages a simple and innocent character. Ordinary glue does not bond plastic, so the pages are fixed with hot-melt plastic. The book measures 225 mm in width, 325 mm in depth and 10 mm in height. The intent is to reuse waste material and to raise awareness of plastic pollution.

The identity conveys energy and movement across many applications.

Full Moon

Full Moon is a social media advertisement created for Guinness. The visual was published in Facebook and Instagram feeds and stories on Halloween night in 2020, when a rare blue moon was visible around the world.

The program includes a floral concert, an open-air cinema, a painting party in transparent houses and a sunrise picnic. All settings are built with transparent, wooden or natural materials. The aim is to renew the image of the forest and to encourage respect and coexistence with nature.
