“Equality” is a piece of illustration that was originally designed as a response to an Illustration Open Call for Padaria Águas Furtadas in Porto, Portugal. The Open Call was “2021 wishes to the humankind”. I reflected about things I wished for and valued. After seeing the world experiencing the pandemic for almost a year, I thought there were many things I wished could happen or get improved. These were human rights, equality amongst everyone, education, empathy, access to resources for mental health and body care, fighting the climate crisis. I decided to create a woman as the centre of the illustration walking above buildings as if she was carrying and spreading these values throughout the world.
