Limited Edition Poster Series with Local Artists

This started as a side conversation about stillness.

In the middle of an unrelated internal review, we found ourselves discussing how certain visuals manage to communicate movement without relying on motion. That tension, between something that appears paused yet feels active, became the basis for what would eventually turn into a collaborative poster series.

We invited a small group of local illustrators and photographers to interpret the phrase Stillness in Motion in whatever way felt most natural to their individual practice. There was no expectation for visual alignment or stylistic consistency across submissions. The only shared requirement was that each piece respond to the same underlying contradiction in its own terms.

Some artists approached it through architectural photography, capturing transitional spaces just before they were occupied. Others explored abstract line compositions that suggested directional flow without resolving into a fixed shape. A number of submissions relied on digitally layered street imagery, isolating brief pauses within otherwise kinetic urban environments.

What emerged was less of a unified collection and more of a conversation between mediums. Our role throughout was intentionally restrained. Rather than art-direct the outputs themselves, we introduced a shared structural grid that allowed the works to coexist within a common format without flattening their differences. This framework made it possible for photographic and illustrative pieces to sit side by side without competing for visual dominance.

Release

Distribution was handled directly through our studio, with selected copies allocated to participating artists for independent sale and exhibition.

Impact

Proceeds from the release were used to support the contributing artists and to fund future collaborative initiatives currently in development. The response to the first run has already informed discussions around a second series, which we expect to expand to include motion-based interpretations of the same theme.
