We all feel displaced or disconnected once in awhile. Suddenly the way we saw something in our lives changes dramatically.
This comic-strip type of project was about a time in which I felt this way; it is a very personal project, but it deals with how I found out about a close family member's Diabetes. Suddenly, this person was no longer "immortal" as she had been in my child's mind. However, I was also hit the with realization that I could be an important source of support for her.
(I should note that I see this experience overall as a revelation, and not as a traumatic event. At the time it certainly felt chaotic and scary, but reflection has made its educational value concrete in my mind. Now, it is just a dynamic, personal story I have been able to illustrate like this.)
I know some of the details may be tricky to see, but I hope you can click and zoom, and get the information you need to understand the story!
