Thinking about health, the theme of the project, we were automatically drawn to this quote by Sartre: "Everything that exists is born for no reason, carries on living through weakness, and dies by accident".
It's a sentence that perfectly encapsulates many of the issues at stake: life, death, health, disease. As atheists, we cannot help but see the cruel meaninglessness of it all; a meaninglessness that can be both liberating and depressing. There's an ambiguity in the idea of a life without meaning; an ambiguity that we tried to incorporate in our poster in the form of a pink, day-glo darkness, lurking behind the surface. In short, we used the suggestion of a torn page to show the abyss that exists under the paper. After all, between us and the abyss, there is only the printed page.
