The graphic art poster of Marsa Arbab, from Iran, showing a crocodile, with the slogan “Help, I’m burning”, both requirements of the Calanca Biennale Contest in Switzerland,
was selected by a jury of international graphic artists as one of the winning designs. The contest rules indicated the contest was seeking to provide a global ecological message saying that the planet is burning.
The area of Switzerland, Calanca, is a small vertical valley of stones in the Swizz Alps. Contest information indicates the tectonic plates under Calanca meet the African plates like a sandwich. It is indicated that, in geological terms, this is called “Crocodile Jaw.” The community, Webwide Graphic Designers, that promoted the contest, wrote that it wanted to make a sign of friendship and to collaborate, hand in hand, with the neighboring continent, Africa. Ms. Arbab’s design conveys the message the Calanca Biennale 2021 is seeking to provide, the crisis of the planet, “I’m Burning”.
