Songkran Water Festival

Thailand’s Songkran Festival, also known as the Water Festival, celebrates the New Year based on the zodiac calender. This festival is a spiritual and physical cleansing Buddhist ritual, but open to all people, that has been celebrated for 1380 years. The festival is the largest water gun fight in the world. In Thailand, flowers mean life, prosperity, and growth for the New Year. The concept combines the fun water fight and flowers, along with traditional and modern aspects of Thai colorful art and culture in a die cut poster. Using lines and dots to create the appearance of splashing water in a symmetrical design captures the wet and wild water fight in a minimalist graphic style.
