Between the lines

  • Ximena Martinez

‘Between the lines’ is a graphic narrative inspired by the fluid concept of identity and the transformation of my own identity in a new place. The project uses storytelling to show that an identity unfolds over time and can significantly change from its original state. The narrative of the zine is an allegory of the things we want to achieve and how our actions and attitude allow things to happen. Between the lines was born as a project that aims to represent identity as concept that is diverse, to connect with the audience in a personal level and as a way to represent that the personal voice of an illustrator goes beyond the aesthetic part of the project. My main goals for this project were: 1. Explanation of a complex concept through an easy narrative 2. A personal narration that can connect with the audience 3. Present different perspectives of the world Inspiration Trip from Dublin to Howth
