Safwat Saleem's couples posters showcase comical relationship dynamics between inanimate objects and cartoons.
The 'Coupled' illustrations bring a satirical charm to idle mundane pairings. The objects are designed to interact with one another to showcase funny and sad dilemmas that can be found in everyday life -- I feel particularly sympathetic towards the phone.
The color designs showcase a simplistic silhouette coloring that's often featured in many art illustrations. The simple caption in each design paints a distinct character for each poster. A ghost chasing Pac-Man with the caption "Hang on, I just want to talk," is probably a situation a lot of women find themselves in.
Each illustration showcases a facet of love and loneliness that's sure to resonate with anyone who's experienced the hardships and joys life can bring.
