Graphic Novels: Wings & Shackles


“Wings and Shackles” is a collection of short visual / graphic novels (three so far) that tell dreamy stories about individuality, groups, culture, creativity, and work.

The stories are filled with (visual and literary) symbols (many hidden), and their images are intended to convey deeper meanings that haunt many of our strange relationships with ourselves and with others.
