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.

Translation:
When was life ever truly ours? When are we ever what we are?
