Legends Of Society
Illustration
Legends of Society is an illustrative poster styled as a legend, the kind used to map and categorize a world. Here, it charts the different people Poofy moves through every day: the hearing, the Deaf, and herself. A quiet reminder that navigating society means first understanding who is in it, and where you stand among them.
