Objective:
This poster critically examines the contrast between Tesla’s futuristic branding and the harsh reality of cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). By juxtaposing the sleek, high-tech image of Tesla with the exploitative conditions of cobalt extraction, the design aims to expose the hidden costs of electric vehicle production. The piece challenges the viewer to reconsider the ethical implications of modern technology and the unacknowledged human suffering behind its supply chain.
