To express my idea I tried to recreate a simple image of happiness: a family that enjoys the company of each other, they all share a moment of happiness provided only for them.
​
The family is in the foreground of the illustration to have the prominence that it deserves, in the background, a shed that symbolizes the lack of material goods, as well as the humble clothes they wear. It is a humble family, simple, but happy. The colors are bright; I used green to express the element of hope. The shed is made of elements inherent to the "crisis", such as patches of various issues, electoral campaigns, and broken pieces of a whole. The presence of these elements serves to show how certain decisions can take us the material quality of life but in the end it's up to us to let them take what really makes us happy.
​​
For the "crisis", with Love.

___PROJECT ILLUSTRATION UNDER THE TOPIC "Crisis, je t'aime"
​
In this work, the approach to the topic "Crisis" was made by a dichotomy between the financial crisis, on a general level and a crisis of values ​​and parameters of happiness, on a personal level.
​
Today we live in a consumerist society, technologically advanced what may provide more quality time to enjoy our lives. However, the idea of ​​happiness is sometimes translated into a need to acquire products and technologies and often small gestures and values are forgotten, though these should be the real drivers of this happiness. ​
Times of crisis are difficult. In times like this, these values are more likely to be forgotten, and our concerns will eventually become more important than family, friendship, compassion, or love. This work wishes to remind that is exactly in times like these that we should embrace those values ​​and realize their true significance.
​I hope with this illustration, to encourage reflection about values ​​that are innate, that grow with us in our experience and education, that are present when everything else is taken. It's time to realize that material goods and the incessant search for consumption will do us anything, when all you need is love… and it's free!
