Hurricane Sandy 2012 Poster

Hurricane Sandy (2012)
Poster documenting Hurricane Sandy’s landfall and aftermath.
Design by Gianluca Franzese

A city underwater. A transit system overwhelmed.
This poster revisits a real scene from New York during Hurricane Sandy: a subway station shut down by rising floodwater.

Wrapped in caution tape, the 42nd Street station is set against a sky of brown and pink clouds. The composition draws from familiar NYC transit graphics, reframed to register failure rather than order — a moment when everyday infrastructure gave way under extreme conditions.

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.
