The illustration portrays the life of people how it most probably looked like on the 4th of December 2022 BC, during the Early Bronze Age. For the poster design, I have focused on portraying various activities of the people living in the Early Bronze Age, such as hunting, gathering crops, cooking, crafting tools and objects or buring the dead. I wanted to portray those activities throughout different seasons of the year to paint the most complete image of how our ancestors experienced life back then.

Big part in the project took the research stage – trying to find the most accurate information about how people dressed, how did the first bronze tools look like, or what crops were available to humans at that time. Getting those facts right was crucial to establish the educational value of the project. That's why the collaboration with the Polish scientific book writer Łukasz Lamża was very helpful during the concept stage of the project.

The poster was chosen as one of the five winning entries to form an additional exhibition, aiding dr Lamża's talk describing the way of living in the Bronze Age during the Silesian Science Festival 2022.
