First, I carefully crafted the editorial design, manipulating text to infuse the reading experience with dramatic pauses. Then, I took up ink and paper to hand-draw each illustration, ensuring that every stroke carried the raw emotions of the tale.




This book is an invitation to immerse yourself in the bittersweet waves of love and loss, as the illustrations seamlessly meld with the written words. By embracing imperfections and hand-shaken lines, I've striven to elevate the feeling of authenticity, making the journey even more resonant. "Melancolia" is a story of universal sentiments, featuring both female and male characters to enable every reader to find a piece of themselves within the pages. Join me in exploring this intimately crafted world where words and visuals converge to evoke a cascade of emotions, inviting you to reflect on your own journey.
