Campaign Illustration
Framed Futures AI
2026
This illustration was created as the key visual for the Framed Futures AI Prompting Competition. Developed in close collaboration with web designer Meriton Ajdini, it shaped the visual identity of the website and campaign. Although created for an AI-focused project, the illustration was painted entirely by hand, drawing on the visual language of Cecilia's surrealist work.






Cover Illustration
PS Zeitung 
2026
Cover illustration for the PS Zeitung May Day issue. The image draws on the history of May Day demonstrations in Switzerland, bringing together references to the 2007 Care Strike, the anti-nuclear movement and its iconic "Nuclear Power? No Thanks" campaign, Reclaim the Streets protests against Zurich's transport policies, and the No One Is Illegal campaign against restrictive asylum policies.

The cover reflects May Day as a moment of solidarity, collective action, and the intersection of different social and political struggles.

Illustrations
Positive Life Magazine
2025
The illustrated series published in Positive Life Magazine was part of an ongoing collaboration with Aids-Hilfe Schweiz, aimed at shedding light on the lived experiences of people affected by HIV. 

The visual concept was based on themes such as stigma, resilience, and intimacy. Drawing from conversations and research, the illustrations combined symbolic and narrative elements to evoke emotional resonance while offering clear visual structure.









Leaflet Wreck of Kilchberg
Sust Museum Horgen
2023
Created for the Sust Museum Horgen, the leaflet combines information and comic elements to tell the story of a shipwreck in Lake Zurich.

The Kilchberg Ledi Wreck is a historic shipwreck resting on the floor of Lake Zurich. After remaining lost for decades, it was rediscovered in 2017 by a team of divers. With the Cantonal Archaeology of Zurich, a concept for a fold-out brochure was developed, featuring a hypothetical reconstruction of the events leading to the vessel's sinking alongside an infographic explaining the site. The project aimed to create an accessible and engaging visual interpretation of the archaeological findings for a broad public audience.
