“PARADISE ON EARTH” is a poster series presenting a dark image of the human condition and our propensity to repeat history that should not be repeated. Its underlying aim is to bring focus to the people that have taken a stand and paved a way with the dream of a better future, a paradise. Their efforts and sacrifices were not made in vain, despite the realities we continue to witness generation after generation.

The series focuses on the racial discrimination Black Americans face in the US, the loss of women’s rights in Afghanistan from the 1970s to the Taliban Takeover in 2021, the onslaught of wars due to political power games, and the 1989 Chinese Tiananmen Square Protests demonstrating political power and censorship in our modern age.
