Full description
"Her" is an original illustrated artist book composed of ten short stories, where text and image unfold together. Each story captures a quiet "melting moment" - moments of emotional collapse shaped by helplessness, or fragile relief found in brief flashes of joy. Through these fragments, the book creates an intimate space for reflection, allowing readers to encounter and recognise their own emotions within hers.
The narratives are rooted in real-life experiences of women close to me: my closest friend and my grandmother whose lives were shaped by family structures and social conditions that often left little room for choice. "Her" becomes both a personal archive and a collective reflection, tracing memory, vulnerability, and the enduring presence of women's struggles. It invites the reader not only to witness, but to pause, listen, and reconsider the quiet forms of inequality that persist in everyday life.
