what will remain? 
2017 2024

Typographic installation & poster design
Self-initiated





It’s easy to forget about garbage after it’s thrown out. “What Will Remain?” draws attention to this by crafting letterforms out of trash and using them to spell out the question: What will remain after we are gone? The trash typography is photographed in nature to emphasize the contrast between the natural and the man made. This project is a reminder of the trash we create and what impact we have on the world around us.

What Will Remain? was also converted into an ecological awareness poster.
