A short, wordless comic created for “Avedot,” a group exhibition at Outline Festival in Jerusalem, 2024.
The story is partly inspired by my first visit to Japan at age 20. The day after arriving, I got lost, with no idea where to go or how to find my way back-long before smartphones could show me the way. No one seemed able or willing to help.
In the comic, this unsettling experience becomes an unexpected connection with a small street rat, also lost and unnoticed by those passing by. Two strangers, each overlooked, finally see one another.
Roles: Illustration, concept development, and visual storytelling.
