Illustration for Psychologie Heute from last year 🧠✨

The researchers Steffen Moritz, Stella Schmotz and Laura Hoyer explore where body-focused repetitive behaviors like nail biting, skin picking, or thumb sucking come from, and how we can learn to redirect the underlying impulses.

For the illustration, I visualized this idea quite literally:
a person biting their nails, while inside their head a smaller version of themselves switches the tracks, gently steering the urge onto a new path.

#wip from a #scienceillustration from last year - hope to share more with you soon

Illustration for the current issue of Psychologie Heute accompanying the article “The Psyche in Times of War”by Susanne Donner.

Drawing on recent research from Ukraine and Afghanistan, the article explores how people cope with fear, stress, and loss under extreme conditions — and highlights the crucial role of community and human connection in sustaining psychological resilience.

Over the past few months, I illustrated 58 information cards and did the graphic design for the new educational mystery game „Das Geheimnis der Soja-Bohne“ aka “The Secret of the Soybean”.

Developed by Dr. Henrike Becker, Dr. Johanna Lochner and ANU the material lets 10–12-year-olds explore how soy production, meat consumption, and environmental change are deeply connected — and how global issues shape our everyday choices. 🌱🔥
Through a narrative introduction, we meet Oskar (Germany), João (Cerrado) and Taíssa (Amazon) and uncover a global web of cause and effect:
• What does a sausage have to do with deforestation?
• Why is the sky burning over Santarém?
• And what responsibility do we carry?

With my illustrations, I want to include south perspectives, avoid stereotypes, and work sensitively with the lived realities of the interviewed children and activists. This was only possible through close collaboration with the interdisciplinary team and their partners in Brazil.

The material is part of the project GloPE – Global Perspectives on Sustainable Diets (GloPE 4), funded by Engagement Global/BMZ, and is free to download via the ANU website www.umweltbildung.de.

Huge thanks to Dr. Henrike Becker, Dr. Johanna Lochner, Annette Dieckmann, Sabrina Abel, Julia Pesch and everyone involved for this thoughtful and inspiring collaboration. ✨
