Geduldet

After an exhausting escape from war and terror and the arrival in a foreign country for many refugees their journey is not finished. They face a long time of uncertainty about their stay. With my poster I want to visualize this seemingly endless time of waiting.

The german word 'Geduld' means patience. For many refugees it can be years until they are officially tolerated (german geduldet) by the government. This long way, the whole process from being a person seeking asylum to the objective of being tolerated and allowed to do a job is shown trough the lines of dots that become smaller and smaller. With an improvement of bureaucracy this uncertain time can be shortened and immigrants can start in their new life a lot faster.
