Historia

“Historia” puts different events that happened in the same year together, in order to showcase the surprising gap and irony between the history of the world and the history of man. The concept of this thesis is to explore historical events that have a significant impact on the world and compare them with other events to create a sense of irony and shock to the audiences. Each illustration will depict a combination of two historical events that happened in the same year.
