Collection: Un/Spoken Poster: Some Distances Fit Between Two Lips

This poster began with a contradiction we couldn't stop thinking about: the idea that two people can be close enough to kiss and still be impossibly far apart.

We've all been there. A conversation that circles the thing neither person will say. A silence that sits between two people who are touching but not reaching each other. The distance isn't physical — it's the gap between what's felt and what's expressed, between the moment before a kiss and the question of whether it will mean the same thing to both people.

The illustration shows two faces drawn towards each other in that suspended instant — not quite touching, not quite apart. It's the space where everything important happens. The almost. The nearly. The breath before the word that changes everything, or the breath that replaces the word entirely.

We chose the minimalist line-art style deliberately. There are no backgrounds, no context clues, no setting. Just two faces and the space between them. Because that's what this quote is about — stripping away everything except the essential tension. When two people are that close, the rest of the world disappears anyway.

There's a kind of intimacy that doesn't need a room, a story, or even a name. It exists in millimetres. In the distance between two sets of lips that might speak, might kiss, might stay exactly where they are — suspended in the most honest kind of uncertainty.

That's the distance this poster measures. Not in kilometres. Not in years. In the tiny, infinite space where closeness and loneliness coexist.
