About Breath Plakatserie

Åndedræt er en serie plakater skabt for at fremme opmærksomheden omkring folkesundhed under COVID-19-pandemien. Plakaterne anvender positive og negative former og kombinerer profilen af et ansigt med kanten af en maske. De fælles konturer antyder et symbiotisk forhold mellem åndedræt og beskyttelse. Yderligere elementer som himlen, byen, hjertet og et hjerteslag udvider temaet til fællesskab og enhed. Grafikken er håndtegnet og bearbejdet med billedredigeringssoftware. Hver plakat måler 700 gange 1000 millimeter.
