Melancholia Part II at VerpackereiGö, an exhibition by the artist duo Torsten Mühlbach and Gregor Passens, explored beauty in fragility and melancholia as a creative force, with the snowman as a symbol of transience, climate change, and human existence.

The design turns four recurring shapes – snowman, cactus, flower and dove – from their work into a paint-by-numbers visual, matching their humorous approach. Flyers, posters, and shirts can be traced with a pen, so everyone creates their own artwork.
