A book is a stairway that can teach, entertain or change you. When we read something, we immerse ourselves in the text, reasoning and accepting the opinions of others, and are filled with our own thoughts. In my poster, I depict this path, together with the stars, as a personification of new possibilities, which is indicated by the quote.

All friends have the same cup of tea On the surface, it’s about sharing those simple, cozy moments—like hanging out over a hot drink. But really, that «cup of tea» is a metaphor. It stands for the stuff that actually makes friendship work: getting each other without having to explain, having each other’s backs, and just vibing on the same level. Even though every friend is different, that core connection—that shared «flavor» of trust and good times—is what ties you together. In short, it’s a shout-out to the best parts of friendship: feeling understood, being comfortable together, and knowing you’re sharing the journey with your soulmates.

Friendship is made up of many small things, as Mark Twain once said. It wouldn’t exist without shared interests, open conversations, joy, warmth, and cherished memories, as well as mutual support, attention, trust, and RESPECT. Often, people grow close and may unintentionally insult, manipulate, or use each other, leading to disappointment and conflict that can destroy years of friendship in an instant. Therefore, it’s crucial to remember the importance of respect; it allows us to accept each other as we are. Cicero’s words resonate here: «The absence of respect can spoil friendship.» Our illustration captures these essential aspects that friendship needs to thrive; without them, everything would be different.
