MEMORIA

“IN THE END, WAS IT A DREAM OR A...?” MEMORIA IS AN ILLUSTRATED FICTION FANZINE FOR YOUNG ADULTS THAT I DEVELOPED TO EXPLORE THE HIDDEN AND FRAGMENTED UNIVERSE OF ITS PROTAGONIST — A GIRL / YOUNG WOMAN WITHOUT A NAME. THE NARRATIVE MOVES THROUGH EXPERIENCES THAT INTERTWINE AND SUBTLY, SENSITIVELY SHAPE AN IDENTITY IN FORMATION. WITH MULTIPLE OPEN ENDINGS, THE PROJECT INVITES EACH READER TO INTERPRET THEIR OWN MEANINGS, ENCOURAGING AN INTIMATE AND RELATIONAL REFLECTION. CONNECTED TO MY PREVIOUS CHILDREN’S BOOK, DREAMCAGE, MEMORIA CONTINUES THAT STORY IN A DEEPER, MORE INTROSPECTIVE, AND SENSORY REGISTER. MEMORY, IDENTITY, RELATIONSHIPS, AND INTERPERSONAL PERCEPTIONS INTERTWINE IN A GAME OF UNEXPECTED CONSEQUENCES AND OUTCOMES. THE RESULT IS AN AUTHORIAL GRAPHIC PIECE WHERE TRUTH HIDES AND REVEALS ITSELF THROUGH THE ENCOUNTER BETWEEN READER AND PROTAGONIST.
