“Works in Progress” Poster Design
This project was a collaboration with the UK magazine and editorial platform Works in Progress, for which I created a series of visuals. At the start of the project, they shared a wide range of topics covered in the issue, including transport in developing countries, the current state of the Swiss watch industry, South Korea’s birth rate, the environmental impact of lunch and the avocado industry, why Roman statues can look so strange, and why building new housing in Western cities has become so difficult. At first, these subjects seemed completely disconnected, but they are all tied to the societies, cities and ways of living we experience today.
They asked whether all of these ideas could somehow exist within a single image. It was difficult to connect so many different subjects through one straightforward concept, so rather than trying to turn each issue into a clear visual ‘answer’, I placed them together within a noisy, crowded cityscape that feels familiar at first, but slightly out of order.
In the image, a lion has wandered onto the road, an avocado has gone missing, and a roadside sign that would normally warn drivers to ‘Watch for Children’ has become ‘More Kids!’. The scene appears to be an ordinary city at night, but the closer you look, the stranger each detail becomes. These colliding elements reflect the magazine’s seemingly unrelated, yet deeply interconnected, social discussions.
For me, the image is also doing something that editorial magazines often do: rather than giving the reader a direct conclusion, it places a question in front of them, inviting them to stop, look, think and start a conversation.

“Works in Progress”海報設計
這次與英國雜誌及社論平台 Works in Progress 合作，為他們設計一組視覺作品。合作開始時，他們給了我很多這期雜誌裡正在討論的主題，包括發展中國家的交通問題、瑞士鐘錶產業的生存現狀、韓國的生育率、環保主義者的午餐與牛油果產業、羅馬雕像為什麼看起來那麼醜，以及為什麼西方城市的新建住房總是如此困難等等。這些主題彼此之間看起來非常分散，但其實都圍繞著我們正在經歷的社會、城市與生活方式。
他們問我，可不可以把這些內容全部放進同一個畫面裡。這其實是一個很難直接用單一概念串聯的命題，所以我最後沒有試圖把每個議題做成一個明確的「答案」，而是把它們放進一個吵鬧、擁擠、看似正常卻又有點失序的城市圖景裡。
在這個畫面中，獅子走上了馬路，牛油果失蹤了，路邊原本提醒「小心兒童」的標牌變成了「More Kids!」。整個場景看起來像一個普通的城市夜晚，但仔細看會發現，每一個細節其實都有一點不對勁。這些彼此碰撞的元素，對應著雜誌裡那些看似毫不相關、卻又彼此牽連的社會議題。
對我來說，這個畫面本身也在做一件社論雜誌經常做的事：不是直接給出結論，而是把問題放在讀者面前，讓人停下來看，然後開始思考和討論。
