Story & Design
BLURB
​
15 chapters. 5 protagonists. 5 genres. The life of Rose is dictated by her phobias and anxieties. Thinking she is loosing her mind, she asks a therapist for help. A hypnotic journey through the fantasies, comedies and dramas of her life begins, but it’s getting harder to tell trauma from dreams apart. Will she get to the source of her problems?
It’s a story about existence and the question as old as humanity itself: what am I doing here and where am I going from here?
CONCEPT
​
The book asks the antique question of faith versus coincide, following a heroine across multiple incarnations. The idea of this question is mirrored in the practice of card reading. The structure of the book is built upon one tarot card, illustrating the characters and plot of each chapter. The book cover consists of waves - a symbol of passing time. The color palette of the waves coincides with the photographs inside. The back cover illustrates the symbolic journey through time and space. To underline this journey and fragmented reality the short stories are written in multiple genres and voices.
