  • Nowhere

  • The first chapter of a graphic novel about a girl who accidentally enters a bizarre and dangerous world, called Nowhere, after her father’s mysterious death.

  • Through this story, I want to explore themes such as fear, grief, family, identity, and absurdism, as well as experiment with the interaction between texts and images. I love writing and reading, and I’ve always felt like there are certain qualities of the written language that cannot be replicated by images, and vice versa as well. That is why I chose to illustrate the first chapter in a picture book type format. 

    The story is told in a nonlinear fashion, so it is also interactive in the way that the readers can choose to read the chapters in any order they want and piece together the arc of the story however it makes sense to them.
