2100:
Eclipse of Humanity

Statement

2100 explores speculative futures through expressive typography, translating personal narratives into visual dialogues. Drawn from interviews with people of deep significance, typography functions not merely as text but as a medium to convey meaning, emotion, and the instability of a future in flux. Letters, spacing, and scale are manipulated; stretched, rotated, fragmented, and layered; to reflect both the weight of societal collapse and the uncertainty of a looming dark age. Typography becomes both lens and subject, bridging personal reflection with collective speculation, allowing stories to unfold visually as well as intellectually.

Grounded in Swiss typographic principles of clarity, structure, and precision, the work balances strict grids with experimental interventions. By manipulating type to mirror narrative tension, the visual form conveys the erosion and reconstruction of meaning, suggesting how knowledge, memory, and communication might fracture in 2100. Typography enacts the narrative itself, revealing the intimate, speculative, and transformative potential of visual language, where order and disruption coexist to illuminate the possibilities and perils of a future dark age.
