The subject of my degree project is a series of graphics concerned with the issue of economic migration. I was inspired to take up this subject because emigration affected my own family, and since then Ireland, and more specifically, Dublin, has become my second home. In a sense, emigration is a real  "school of life". Anyone who decides to take this step is aware that the life of an emigrant is not always filled with successes and pleasures. In my works, I tried to show some dilemmas, but also the realities of everyday life of emigration, translating it into a graphical language. One of the main principles of my project was creating a story with the larger-format works  presenting the main themes of the subject became the starting point, while smaller graphics composed around those consisted of ''quotes'' - comments on the everyday Dublin life.      The works included in the series were made using gravure printing. Simple shapes, laconic drawings, photo reprints and typographic inserts are the main features of the graphic language I use. The series, arranged in gallery space, with designated divisions, creates a story that aims to "wrap" the recipient with its narrative. Surrounded by the image, the viewers, enclosed in an intimate area, have an opportunity to integrate and familiarise themselves with the emigration reality surrounding them.
