EVERY ONE IS AN ISLAND. Exhibited at Patyolat, 2019.

This comic provides an intimate glimpse into the relationship between two people as they seesaw between self-protection and vulnerability, confusion and clarity. While they go about their lives - eating, travelling, talking, laying on the beach - they are haunted by the fact that they can never really know what the other person is thinking.
