Follow-Up Report on Activist Arrests
AD: Ricky
This opening illustration captures the decisive moment when the judge’s gavel strikes, symbolizing the formal continuation of the legal process against the detained activists. The raised hand, the cold lighting, and the stark atmosphere underscore the weight of institutional power. The scene sets the tone for the narrative that follows—one where justice is delivered with rigidity, and the stakes for the accused are immense.
Flowing from the courtroom, the second illustration shows activists being escorted into detention. Their restrained movement contrasts sharply with the forceful presence of the officers guiding them. Tightly framed corridors, dim lighting, and subdued colors emphasize the shift from public protest to institutional confinement. This image expands the story established in the first illustration, revealing the real consequences behind the judicial decisions.

The Misjudged Unraveling Stigma and Exploitation
AD: Ricky
This illustration was developed for an investigative editorial piece addressing the disappearance of a child, public misinformation, and the wrongful suspicion placed on an Indigenous community. The visual approach focuses on symbolic contrast: the hidden presence of real perpetrators represented by the car interior, and the quiet, misunderstood existence of the forest community shown through soft silhouettes. The artwork aims to highlight systemic vulnerabilities, the impact of stigma, and the delicate intersection between truth, perception, and marginalized voices.
