ABOUT

In May 2026, gunmen abducted dozens of children and teachers from schools in Oyo State, Nigeria. As the days turned into weeks, families waited, protests grew, and many Nigerians were left with a familiar feeling: we've been here before.

A few days after the abductions, #BringBackOurChildren emerged, echoing the spirit of the global #BringBackOurGirls movement. As Father's Day approached, celebrating without acknowledging that reality felt wrong.

So instead of saying Happy Father's Day, we imagined it as something unfinished.

Using subtle cues from brands woven into childhood itself (Pampers, Golden Penny Pasta, Peak Milk and Close Up Toothpaste) we turned familiar products into reminders of the children who should be home enjoying them. The result was a simple thought:

Until every child returns, Father's Day remains unfinished.

Because for some fathers, celebration can wait.
