2023 Lahaina Fire Hawaii poster

Lahaina Fire (2023)
Part of the Global Warming Awareness Poster Series
Design by Gianluca Franzese

A paradise in flames. Lahaina burned not just as a town, but as a warning.
This poster memorializes the 2023 wildfire that swept through Lahaina, Hawaii — a tragic event that underscored how even lush, tropical regions are no longer safe from the escalating effects of global warming.

The design features the blackened silhouette of palm trees set against an inferno of deep reds, oranges, and scorched yellows. Circular patterns radiate outward, echoing both the heat and the shockwave of destruction. An ominous sun presides over the scene — heavy, inescapable, unrelenting. Below, the message is clear: “Warning: Global Warming is Real. Earth Climate in Crisis.” This work serves as a quiet memorial and a bold reminder that the climate emergency touches every coastline, every horizon.

It’s a visual record of a real climate disaster — an image designed to hold space for what happened, and what’s still happening.
Each piece is a reminder that these events didn’t come out of nowhere, and they won’t be the last — unless we remember.

Printed on synthetic 4533 press, this poster benefits from enhanced durability and color vibrancy.
