Celebrity Skin Magazine Cover
-Greta Thunberg
This illustrated magazine cover interprets Greta Thunberg’s powerful journey from an ordinary student to a globally recognized climate activist. Inspired by the article, I aimed to visually represent both the urgency and the hope embedded in her mission. At the center of the composition is Greta’s firm and contemplative gaze, anchoring the viewer’s attention and conveying her unwavering resolve.
Surrounding her, I incorporated symbolic elements of the climate crisis—raging storms, fractured decks, and plastic waste adrift in the ocean depths—to mirror the environmental destruction she speaks out against. In contrast, her hands cradle a small greenhouse, symbolizing the fragile hope for a healthier, sustainable planet. The rising wave in the background suggests a powerful, collective force of change—both threatening and full of momentum—echoing Greta’s ability to inspire global youth action.
This piece fuses activism and portraiture, reflecting not only Greta’s public image but also the deeper emotional and political weight of her cause.
