Everything is Fine!
BY MÁTÉ LADJÁNSZKI
“Everything is Fine!” is a collection of ten satirical posters designed to provoke reflection on society’s pervasive apathy toward the escalating climate crisis. The series highlights the dissonance between the comforting narratives society tells itself and the stark environmental realities we face. Each poster depicts a distinct environmental catastrophe—whether rising temperatures, ocean pollution, or industrial contamination—juxtaposed with the reassuring phrase “Everything is Fine!” to mock humanity’s tendency to ignore these pressing issues. Inspired by vintage propaganda and advertising, the posters contrast idyllic, everyday scenarios with haunting depictions of ecological collapse. This approach underscores the absurdity of disregarding the urgency of climate action while continuing to behave as though the planet is not in peril.
