Title:	Matchsticks Forest Poster Series (a) and (b)
Comcept:	One tree makes a million matchsticks; one matchstick burns a million trees. Suspension bridges, high-rise buildings, huge resorts, undergoing rapidly development in Jordan. nevertheless, we still deforesting the green, consuming matchsticks and abuse it! what a parallel equation! Substances: Worthless left over matchsticks were the main afflatus in this work. an out of context visuals made of an extraordinary materials. Every single entity of a matchstick stands out as a unique character, a piece of art. it resembles a shape of a living creature, which evokes simultaneously the essence fact that these matchsticks were originally part of a living being "tree". Process: A composition out of matchsticks was a complicated project. Working with such fragile/ sensitive elements was a huge/ interesting challenge. Thousands of matchsticks used to accomplish these visuals. a small blow/ unintended move could destroy days of working.
Coment:	This work conveys a strong message about people wasting resources through the reckless exploitation and destruction of nature by depicting a forest with matches that have become useless.　Conscious of what graphics as a two-dimensional world can express, this series depicts a modern phenomenon with a profound message. This is an excellent piece of design vividly tying together philosophical thinking with an environmental issue confronting us.
