Heroin
This little comic was inspired by a song of the same name by Velvet Underground, which describe the psychological state of a person indulging in the pleasant self-abandonment of drugs.
The story resonated deeply with me, and I decided to transform the song into an experimental comic. Is the structure of the text itself spatial? Is it possible to express words and sounds in a language that belongs to a three-dimensional world? This is the question that I want to explore in this project. I have restored the story by setting up the pyramid, the room, the starry sky and the boat on the ocean in several spatial acts. Each page unfolds in two square composite frames. The story keeps circling in a rotating gravity and vertigo：A person continuously perishes on a meaningless road, and his failures are but repetitive video games he plays. Until he looks outside the window and sees the departsalong with the city, he vanishes into the water eternally.
