A design for a World Flag to demonstrate solidarity regardless of statehood, religion or creed. Design features include: 23.5 degrees axial tilt of the earth, 71% water to land ratio, and square format for social media. 

This was created in response to the Paris terrorist attacks in 2015, Facebook created a feature allowing users to overlay their profile image with the French Flag. Whilst I appreciated this sentiment, it felt like selective empathy. This was my response: designed for the digital realm and accompanied by a plugin enabling the user to overlay it on their profile image – to show solidarity with all.
