This comic is a collaboration between Xuanmei and Eylül. The narrative follows a cartographer who is returning home. However, upon her return, she has hesitations about where her heart really lies. The comic explores a sense of belonging and how identity changes through travel and experience, reflecting on the journey we all go through as we seek to find ourselves.
The collaboration is inspired by Eylül’s previous project which explores similar concepts of which Xuanmei also resonated with. Both illustrators explored print mediums and combined traditional and digital images to create the comic.
The makers hope to continue the momentum of making and exploring these kinds of narratives that connect our shared experiences.
