[COLLABORATION WORK]

Client: LOVERS

I was approached by Lovers.co to help collaborate in a open brief called Where We Stand which is a design challenge that invites 15 leading creative agencies, designers and design partnerships to respond to a new reality in cities: the need for physical distancing. Each team has chosen a favourite public space, and proposed new visual systems that create a welcoming, safe – and at times provocative – environment for the public to gather, dropping the typical cues of crisis and caution.

Technique: Arnold renderer, Cinema 4D and composited in After Effects

Public space must honour its most sacred invitation: to exercise free thought and movement. Instructions to keep apart from one another for our own safety can only be taken in good faith by a public that believes its authorities understand and value it. We applaud the collective energy Bristolians used to remove the raised statue of slave trader Edward Colston from one of its most prominent public spaces, triggering worldwide review of such symbols. Our proposed Garden of Voices monument casts these brave figures in bronze, casting their placards on the ground to be read by generations to come.
