This poster design visually interprets Franz Kafka’s poem Leopards in the Temple, exploring the tension between chaos and ritual. By harmonizing type and illustration, my piece enhances the reading experience with hand lettering, immersive pattern, and hidden symbols alluding to elements of the poem.
“Leopards break into the temple and guzzle the chalices empty; this happens repeatedly; eventually one can predict that it will happen again, and it becomes part of the ceremony.”
— Franz Kafka
