Concept & Illustration



A series of three war posters created for Megáfono Magazine, exploring inherited trauma, moral distance, and visual protest. The starting point was a simple but uncomfortable question: what does it mean to design about something you are not living through?

The series focuses on children, and how they absorb brutal realities while still holding fragments of innocence. Children who grow up in war zones often become part of the next phase of the conflict, caught in cycles that were never of their choosing. The poster format felt like the right container for that idea, a tool historically used to control narratives, reclaimed here to push back.
