Tales of Fire
During the last months of 2023 I engaged, along with my classmate Maria Ruszczak, on a project concerning experiences, perceptions, opinions and legislation on the taboo topic of abortion.
The result was a short publication that took the form of a conversation between two individuals, with me and Maria creating artworks by deriving inspiration from each other. The intention was both to educate and to create new visualizations of abortions.
My part of the publication was an illustrated twist on the myth of Prometheus. I used the gift of fire as a symbol for new life, that can be both nurturing and destructive, and it is up to each woman to decide if she should accept or deny it.
Final result is a combination of scan textures, scanned typography and digital illustrations.
