Finally after 4 fruitful years and

VISUAL COMMUNICATIONS

PAGE 6 TIME
EXHIBITION

Time is a tricky thing,
and I had the challenge
to concise it into a simple
5m x 5m exhibition.

Mockup was made with
foam boards of various
thickness, cardboard and

printed visuals.

To be exhibited in
educational grounds like

schools, libraries and
museums.

VISUAL COMMUNICATIONS

Summarising complex
scientific facts into easily
understood graphics for
a crash course for viewers
on time.

And if they had a
little time to spare,
they could interact
with the interactive
elements of the set
for a jolly good time.

“I tie myself to the bottom TYPOGRAPHY

of a lake and watch, wide-
eyed, as the sky turns dark.

I dig my teeth into the bog
and wear wildflowers in
my hair.

My jaw is strong from
kissing you.

Static sparks between us
as we coil around one
another, I am ivy and you
are my archaic brick wall.

Lightening flashes and you
are scared but I tell you:
electricity is just my love
for you.

You harden your flesh with
hatred for the sounds of
thunder.

My darling, my flower, my terrible love;
the storms don’t give a damn about us.

They only care for those who swallow tornados.
And your teeth are not yet sharp enough.

So you tell me you want to be dirty, and cruel. I tell you your
softness is to contrast the terrible beast I’ve become.

You tell me you’d rather run with wolves than ride them.
You lick the blood from my teeth when I come home at night.

I’ve come to believe you. ”
