The bachelor's thesis "Eco-visions" explores the theme of solarpunk—a pro-ecological and utopian movement that offers an optimistic alternative to the dystopian visions that dominate popular culture. The main aim of the project is to translate the ideas of this genre—which operates primarily in the literary sphere and lacks an established aesthetic—into a coherent visual language through concept art, whilst also raising awareness of the movement and promoting pro-ecological attitudes.

The visual layer of the fictional world was developed based on the author’s own research of selected works of literature. A direct result of this research is an educational publication in the form of a guide to the vision of solarpunk, which depicts a reality based on renewable energy sources, the art of upcycling, and a society founded on mutual aid.

The publication is complemented by dedicated elements of the graphic campaign—postcards, stickers, a handy kit for sewing your own patch onto clothing, a tin of flower seeds, second-hand T-shirts decorated by hand, and posters.
