WARNING
SIGNS

The refugee crisis in the Mediterranean becomes more and more invisible to the public. Together with Sea-Watch, a humanitarian organization saving lives in the Mediterranean Sea, we set out to change that by giving this crisis a powerful visual language: 17 striking icons—Warning Signs—that humanize the tragedy and break through public apathy. To bring this visual language to life, we created an immersive out-of-home installation that confronts audiences with the scale and urgency of the situation, sparking empathy and awareness where silence has long prevailed.
