Is D.C Finally on the Brink of Statehood?

Cover and Opener illustration for the Washington Post Magazine on the issue of Feb 7, 2021.

AD: Clare Ramirez

Client: The Washington Post


The behind story of this cover is about D.C. Statehood.

To make it related to D.C. Statehood, my idea came from the puzzle game, adding the missing “D.C.” star into the U.S. flag with all other 50 stars.

The visual style with graphic shapes went back to my animation “Geometry”
