Peace for Paris

In the wake of the November 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, Jullien created a variation of a classic peace symbol invoking the Eiffel Tower. The image swiftly went viral through social media and news coverage of worldwide sympathies and affirmations of solidarity against terrorism. He also published a drawing in solidarity after the Charlie Hebdo shootings in January 2015.
The French embassy in Berlin used his symbol in an exterior lighting installation, accompanied by the slogan #NousSommesUnis.
