I was invited to design the cover for the VPRO Guide—a truly special moment for me. As a child, I collected VPRO covers, drawn in by their bold imagery. They nurtured my fascination with visual culture and shaped my artistic eye. To now create one myself felt like coming full circle—an incredible honor.
This edition revolved around the International Film Festival Rotterdam, whose emblem is a tiger. To weave in the essence of cinema, I transformed its eyes into glowing projectors and wove extra stripes into its fur, echoing the rhythmic slats of a classic film clapper.
