Based on the profound insights of author Dr. Sally Lo, I visualized the theme of “End-of-Life Care” through a serene and expansive artistic language.

The key visual of this poster captures the delicate balance of being "sad but peaceful", an emotion drawn from my personal experience of witnessing a loved one’s long struggle with illness and their eventual departure.
A specific passage from the book deeply inspired this direction:
// The moon connects four generations of our family.
One night, I asked my toddler, 'Where is Great-Grandma?' expecting her to point at a photograph. Instead, she pointed toward the bright moon outside the window and said, 'Moon!'
My grandmother once taught me never to point at the moon out of respect, as if it were a deity watching over us. Now, my daughter has taught me a new perspective: when we point at the moon, we are pointing toward our departed loved ones. //
Inspired by this connection, the visual centerpiece of the poster features the first light of dawn breaking through the sky, accompanied by a lingering, luminous moon. This imagery symbolizes the continuity of love and the peaceful transition between life and what comes after.
