I am Nesia Exhibition Series

I am Nesia

I am Nesia is a photography series about the effects of the 2020 lockdown on the human spirit. Each image was made by turning the lens focus in the wrong direction, so that landscapes became soft fields of colour that resemble watercolour paintings. A dark figure was then added to each scene as a metaphor for fear and anxiety, and a grain texture completes the compositions. The series is produced as large format light boxes of 1200 by 2000 millimetres. The intent is to record a period of uncertainty and to show that people can adapt and prevail.

Cascahuin

Cascahuin is a bottle designed for tequila. The mouth, ring and neck of the bottle were modified so that the sealing system works with a cork stopper. The brand icon is applied in high relief on the neck, which gives the package a characteristic seal. The glass container is produced by blow molding, with sodium-calcium glass as the base material. The stopper is made from selected natural cork grains inked with food grade vegetable pigments. The bottle measures 70 by 70 by 260 millimeters. The design takes inspiration from pre-Hispanic crafts, materials and the reading of the stars.

Beer Mail by Volfas Engelman

Beer Mail is a packaging design for a range of craft beers. The labels are framed like postage stamps, a reference to the brand name and to the collectible quality of stamps. Each variety carries a collage illustration that joins elements that appear unrelated at first glance. Ingredients used in the beer are hidden within the illustrations, so the consumer can look for them. The beer is sold in 330 ml glass bottles with digitally printed labels and in 500 ml printed cans. The design reflects the small production quantities of the range.
