Proposed exhibition poster for the ICA’s show Beyond Infinity.
process
research / moodboarding
Yayoi Kusama’s works and those inspired by them have motifs of repetition and attempting to understand infinity. I knew that I wanted to play with the idea of conveying both infinity and reflection visually through type.
initial sketches
Following my research, I created prototypes of the poster. I experimented with different ways to depict reflection and continuity.
iteration
Through critique, I found that simplifying the central idea made the poster much more effective. The result was a work that I felt referenced and reflected the work of Yayoi Kusama as well as the core ideas of infinity and reflection.
