POETIC GRAPHICS

I created the visual design for two poetry collections.

The first, DeBuk, is a volume of poetry by Jolanta Gęsicka. The collection stands as a symbolic commemoration of a certain stage in the author’s life journey, which inspired me to create a series of drawings featuring the motif of a path.

The second is a collection of poems written over many years by Ariel Galili-an Israeli poet, lawyer, and observer of space, who metaphorically poured his reflections onto the pages of the book. The dense, dark atmosphere of the poetry corresponds with my simple, raw, dark, and predominantly monochrome artwork. The red appearing alongside the black-present in both the text and the illustrations-underscores the gravity of the themes explored and becomes a quiet yet striking protagonist of this poetic feast.
