CYRK
Inspired by the Polish CYRK poster tradition, this design uses expressive black lines and intentionally unfinished areas of color to evoke a sense of disappearance. The incomplete imagery becomes a visual metaphor for traditional circus culture gradually fading from contemporary life.

CYBERBULLY
Social media has become an essential part of everyday life, but it has also created new spaces for harassment and cyberbullying. Words typed behind a screen may seem harmless, yet they can have a lasting impact on others.
This poster uses yellow police tape as a visual metaphor for a crime scene, blocking access to Instagram and transforming the phone into a symbolic weapon. The concept highlights how online harassment can turn something as simple as a comment into a powerful source of harm.

Carmen
This poster interprets Carmen through the concept of “beautiful, yet deadly.” Poppies, fans, and the figure of a dancer come together to represent Carmen’s beauty, passion, and dangerous allure. The poppy serves as the central metaphor—visually captivating yet associated with opium, reflecting Carmen’s intoxicating charm and ultimately tragic fate.
