To live

Editorial Illustration for TELOS Magazine about the origin of communication, language and writting.

“In that world so far away that it’s even hard to imagine, there was only voice. There were no words. Language was unthinkable and writing impossible.

It was the expression of those remote, hairy and jumping humans, who inhabited the Earth two million years ago.
