An original illustrative concept designed to symbolically condemn and highlight an issue that all immigrants are all so familiar with, particularly those that seek citizenship in the United States: the paperwork. This problem is another component that is made unnecessarily complicated in the path to citizenship and is often not reflected through public news anchors or online articles.

With the juxtaposition of scale, symbolic imagery, easy-to-understand mental associations, and dramatic lighting, this poster creates a thought-provoking and emotionally appealing composition that successfully communicates the issue to the viewer.
