A Benediction

Justin Ahrens · c. 2023 · Poster · Being HumanKind series · dimensions unconfirmed

A send-off in eleven lines. Against a black field watermarked with oversized ghosted "Go Be" lettering, each line pairs an imperative with its reason: "Go be present in a distracted world. Go be kind in a divided world. Go be brave in a fearful world." The litany builds through resilience, freedom, creativity, connection, compassion, justice, and lasting impact before resolving into the project's name: "Go be…human. Go be…kind. Go be…HumanKind." The poster distills the closing blessing of the Being HumanKind book into a single sheet. The printed footer reads "Words to carry with you. Created by Justin Ahrens + Rule29. Printed with care by O'Neil Printing." The poster itself carries no printed date; the year shown reflects the Being HumanKind book launch period. Paper stock and dimensions are not documented on the sheet.
