Mandela
A Swiss modern informed poster to bring awareness to the life of Nelson Mandela who was wrongfully imprisoned for approximately 27 years near Cape Town, South Africa.
The poster states 02.11.90, or February 11th, 1990, since this was the day of his release. The quote states, "In prison, you come face to face with time. There is nothing more terrifying." - Nelson Mandela. Finally, the tick marks represent the time spent behind bars, sharing the overwhelming feeling of such an experience. They represent the 1,900+ sets of marks it would take to equal the 9,500+ days spent in prison.
Finally, the last set of marks is left blank, as a sign of relief from release.
