A boarding pass to nowhere.
A personal lockdown poem translated into the language of a delayed journey.

Written poem and design by Anton Istya; course taught by Brenda McManus.
Work presented
Completed personal typography project.
Insight & approach
The thought behind it.
The contrast is direct: a boarding pass normally promises movement, but this one leads to an indefinite wait. The poem records changing routines, distance from home and the disappearance of familiar markers of time.
Concept & execution
How it takes shape.
A six-page visual poem turns the language of travel into a story of lockdown: a cover, an introduction and four illustrated poem spreads. The boarding pass and dotted flight paths link personal writing with the experience of a journey postponed. Read the complete work below in its original order; every page opens at full size.
