The poster design for a forthcoming exhibition entitled “Hostile Architecture”. Its name refers to  a specific type of architecture designed with the intent to discourage people from loitering. The exhibition promotes awareness of hostile architecture design that discriminates against the homeless population in today’s society. This featured sculptural chair work evokes the idea of hostile architecture. It is seen in many forms from benches with bars to window ledges with nubs.

A variety of colors were tested to be use for the poster. The selected neon green and light pink were chosen, respectively, because of their obnoxious, attention grabbing quality and their soft, nearly pigment like hue.

The image at the center of the poster is composed of a broken chair and wood chips collected from a local park that render the chair unusable. The color white was selected to contrast it's purity against the rigid subject matter.

Each wood piece was hand-dipped in paint and individually placed. The sculpture acts as a modern hybrid between early 20th century Dada art objects and disruptive, modern architecture practices in major cities today. The sculpture emulates the chaotic energy and absurdity of the WWI movement. While having a modern twist and reflecting how this architectural style is not only unappealing, but hazardous to many homeless populations.
