ATLAS
The first project of our graduate studio experience, Atlas sent each student on a series of Herculean tasks. In response, we each developed a series of spreads, then sequenced it together as a cohort.
My spreads centered upon world-building, portals, and dreamscapes. I developed a narrative in response to my tasks, one that delved into the dreamy, imaginative way in which I exist within the world, and considered mythologies of life, death, the underworld, and the multiverse. Designed to pull the reader into an emotional landscape, my project is more about obfuscation.

Through this project, I begin to develop an inclination towards retro-futurism as a formal language, infused with my interest in speculative future, science fiction, and mythologies from non-Western perspectives and cultural contexts.
Worldbuilding and storytelling were the process here, not necessarily a narrative to be shared with others. Rather, this was my way to process how I experience different phenomena of existence, and sharing the overall emotions with the reader.
