BDA Sommet du Francophonie Exhibit, Kinshasa 2012 | Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo
The BDA Foundation’s Plant Action programme represents sustainability of the natural world and communities in Africa. We designed an exhibit to represent this human-nature connection in for this exhibit.
The mural design uses the Acacia tree as the base and the leaf motif follows the Acacia tree top shape. Users are invited to write their own message onto one of the Acacia tree leaves of what biodiversity and sustainable development mean to them.

Rio+20 Conference | Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The Rio Conventions Pavilion was a venue where global progress on conservation of biological diversity, combating desertification, and the framework on climate change would be discussed. The goal of this monumental event was to map out the world’s next steps towards sustainable development. Within the leaf shapes on the graphic panels were messages from the ‘@Rio+20 Messages of the World’ Twitter feed. During the event, users had their own opportunity to add their unique messages to the wall panels.
The highly interactive environmental graphics concept was the hit of the pavilion with the likes of Miss Universe and many other visitors writing their hopes for a sustainable future on graphic leaves placed on the pavilion panels.
