Project Overview

This project is about my core values. Some I don't know how to explain, but I know how to express. I developed the style by using a few parts from street artists and refugee artists. And I also wanted to make something more optimistic, something people can look at and laugh or smile at and have a few moments away from stress and daily routines.

First, I thought of a mocking cartoon, but that can be interpreted wrong if you are the one who is getting mocked. So I thought of a comic book superhero. Something a minority can look up to and see that there is
someone like her or him who also comes from a different background and is successful. Superheroes were created in the
World War II because children their fathers were away in the war. Superheroes were then a kind of father figure or a
role model for children.

Gallery

I also got a lot of inspiration from refugee artists. They do not have a studio or workplaces that they can use. This makes them use what is in their environment. Walls on the street. Chalk and graphite. But by drawing walls on the street, you get not only a different visual effect but also a social change. "Graffiti is one of the few tools you have if you have almost nothing. And even if you don't come up with a picture to cure world poverty, you can make someone smile while they're having a piss."
