A Way Through Poster Design
Exploring CPTSD in China, this poster project translates emotional voids into visual narratives of healing and connection.
The Story
Wenxin Zhao's 'A Way Through Poster Design' visually delves into the causes of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) within the sociocultural framework of China. The project emphasizes how early-life trauma can create an emotional void in adulthood, particularly within rigid family structures and societal expectations. Targeting individuals affected by CPTSD, the design work offers visual narratives that resonate emotionally, allowing viewers to connect with their unspoken experiences. By exploring the emotional journey from fear to hope, the project aims to illuminate pathways toward healing and wholeness. Ultimately, Zhao's posters serve as a means for individuals to recognize their internal struggles and envision a future that embraces their complexities.
