Hurricane Maria 2017 Poster

Hurricane Maria (2017)
Poster documenting Hurricane Maria’s impact on Puerto Rico.
Design by Gianluca Franzese

An island went dark.
This poster documents the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria in 2017, when extreme winds and flooding crippled infrastructure across Puerto Rico and left millions without power, water, or reliable communication for extended periods.

Cartographic forms and fractured geometry reference both physical damage and systemic breakdown. Vivid, unnatural colors heighten the contrast between the island’s natural form and the conditions imposed upon it, registering absence, delay, and exposure rather than spectacle.

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.

Poster Size: 12 inches x 18 inches
