The Toxic Exhibition
The Toxic Exhibition is a multi-layered campaign imagining a provocative exhibition at Tate Modern, exploring the lifespan of plastic — from its initial shine to its slow, silent contamination of the earth. At the heart of the project are three custom typefaces, each designed to represent a different stage in the "life of plastic": the appealing surface, the growing presence, and the final toxic spread.

The project includes promotional posters, trifold brochures, and framed artworks, all designed to exist within the imagined exhibition space. The artworks feature ironic or humorous quotes delivered in distorted or decaying typography — giving plastic a voice that’s both unsettling and memorable.

To reflect the subject matter physically, I created frames using real plastic bags from chain stores, turning the very material the project critiques into part of the display. The bags — familiar, disposable, and branded — surround the viewer with the issue, both literally and conceptually.

This was a fully self-directed project, with responsibilities spanning research, experimentation, typography, design, and physical making. My goal was to immerse the viewer in the overlooked reality of plastic’s life cycle — and to challenge how we interact with it in everyday life.
