Description
In the Design Museum of Chicago’s Great Ideas of Humanity series, aspiring designers were invited and selected to create visual posters based on inspirational quotes.

I chose this quote since it’s reminiscent of the glimpse of life we have on earth. It’s a reminder that life is short and it’s what you make of it. The existential tone forces the reader to reflect upon themselves and how their experiences help shape their identity.
