Paris’hope
Even though I moved to the Netherlands recently, I didn't forget about my country, my roots, my culture and the French "Art de vivre" that was attacked on this dark 13th November, I couldn't be there to pay a tribute to the victims or be there with my family and friends so I did this poster as my personal Tribute
The assignment we got for Drawing class was really broad : we had to make a poster with a statement, not using words, only visuals or symbols
That's what I did, using drawings of Paris' roofs that was the best way for me to represent this amazing city I was lucky to live in for 1 year (before moving to the Netherlands), since I could see all those amazing roofs from my small studio's window anytime of the day, as a message, I used the now famous Rue89 creation : the Eiffel/Peace symbol but did it again not to use someone's else creation,
This poster was really important for me at the time as I felt like I was a part and appart of/from this tragic event and its aftermaths
Luckily none of my friends or family was killed but so many people were, and it could have been them or even me, they attacked the heart of our capital, and tried to destroy our culture but we stood and we fought back with all our hearts for once all united (almost...)
