In November of 2022, I was honored to participate in this collective exhibition (my favorite kind) at the Design Museum of Chicago, a celebration of Chicago’s landmarks that remain accessible for all throughout the years.

One of them is, of course, Lake Michigan. One of the biggest resources of freshwater with a fascinating geological origin story.

I chose to call my poster Precious, Boundless, in reference to the incredible amount of water that the Lake has to offer, but also how culture and knowledge grow exponentially when shared, free and open.

Also for all the gemstone nerds out there, yes! the shape containing the motif as well as the choice of color were inspired by a sapphire cushion cut.

The Design Museum team invited 35 artists to share their version of the lake, be it a perfect day on the lake shore, an Aurora in the ice or a deep water reverie.

All the beautiful posters were available for purchase for the duration of the show, and qualtiy of the print did not disappoint! By clicking on this link here you can explore the 35 designs created by talented artists like Sage Coffey, David Alvarado, Nick Adam and Unyimeabasi Udoh.
