Bootleg Fire 2021 Oregon Poster

Bootleg Fire (2021)
Part of the Global Warming Awareness Poster Series
Design by Gianluca Franzese

The fire moved like a living thing — fast, consuming, and relentless. Oregon burned, and the silence after was louder than the flames.
This poster captures the scale and intensity of the 2021 Bootleg Fire, one of the largest wildfires in Oregon’s history. The blaze scorched over 400,000 acres, devastated ecosystems, and displaced entire communities — leaving a scar on both land and memory.

The artwork features towering flames rising against a jagged mountainous horizon, symbolizing the tension between Oregon’s natural strength and its vulnerability under climate stress. It’s both a tribute to the region’s beauty and a stark warning about what we risk losing as the planet warms.

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. The synthetic 4533 press technology uses advanced printing techniques to ensure that the colors remain vivid and the material withstands various environmental conditions, making it ideal for long-term display and preservation.
