Exploring EU politics visually | Photo illustration | Turning snippets into art | Portfolio ⬇️ https://www.esthersnippe.com/

The main feature of this photo illustration is Mark Rutte. To his top right, Mari Rantanen appears pensive, while to his left is Kaja Kallas. Below them, Carl-Oskar Bohlin (Minister for Civil Defence) and Pal Jonson (Minister for Defence) look towards the audience. Each politician is looking in a different direction, alluding to a lack of answers. In the foreground, a ship responsible for laying underwater cables is visible, along with a worker preparing a cable for installation. The background consists of uneven and broken navy and yellow shapes, interspersed with black-and-white photos of the sea, to give a messy, confusing look, this is intended to symbolise the uncertainty of what is happening with the cables.

Manfred Weber is front and center, smiling and waving at the audience. Behind him, Ursula von der Leyen smiles broadly. To his right, Nicola Procaccini walks towards them, while to the left, Iratxe Garcia and Terry Reintke look toward the center. In the background, there are repetitive yellow rectangles, white circles, and a navy shape to provide contrast and reinforce Euractiv branding.
