//whaling campaign

The whaling campaign encompasses a series of billboards, posters and a t-shirt design. The t-shirt, white with a red circle at its centre, is formed from the bleeding carcasses of slaughtered whales and echoes the design of the Japanese flag.

Whale blood drips from the red circle – a distortion of the pristine circle on the pure white field of Japan’s flag. The intention is to present Japan’s decision to continue whaling as a shameful disfigurement of her nation.

Wearing this t-shirt I felt I was highlighting a worthwhile cause. This response to whaling was intensely personal. More than anything this project has taught me that my skills allow me an opportunity to signal, to speak to, an issue in which I believe.
