Genius Olympiad 2025
Art | Poster Design
I participated in the Genius Olympiad 2025, an international competition promoting environmental awareness through creative expression.
For my poster Yesterday’s Beauty, Today’s Auction, Tomorrow’s Regret, I envisioned a future where the last flower on Earth is auctioned off to the highest bidder — a haunting reflection of humanity’s neglect of nature. To bring this vision to life, I rented a studio and collaborated with a professional photographer to stage and shoot the composition. Afterward, I refined the imagery in Photoshop and added the campaign slogan to create a striking, thought-provoking environmental message.

This project strengthened my creative direction, teamwork, and ability to translate school pride into visual design.
