CYCLES
Illustrated Short Story on the themes of Growth, Mindfulness and their connection with Nature.
The rings of a tree are a classic motif: we immediately associate them with the seasons of our life. At the same time, the expression “going in circles” often carries a negative connotation. The little poem that unfolds alongside the images offers a perspective that connects these two ideas.
The black and white stones depicted are pieces from the oriental Game of Go, or Weiqi—a centuries-old relative of chess, frequently linked to Taoist philosophy and existential reflection.
This work is thought as a short narrative designed for web sliders, or social media carousels and reels, becoming a kind of “children’s book for adults”.
I am eager to explore more projects in this direction—if you have a commission or a project in mind, contact me and let’s bring it to life!
