Goodbye Icarus is a graphic novel printed and published in Providence, Rhode Island, at the end of 2023.
The work explores the interplay between possibilities and limitations through the experimental use of programming languages, artificial intelligence and book structures, seeking to bridge the gap between the digital and the physical.
It delves into the contemporary relevance of mythological narratives, by intertwining the myths of Jingwei Filling the Sea and Icarus' Wings—two stories with similar philosophy but drastically different outcomes.
The book design pushes the boundaries of visual language through programming experiments and editorial design. By visualizing Rhode Island’s residency experience, the work attempts to expand the potential for storytelling within the format of the book, offering new avenues for narrative exploration.
