Using observation drawings of a green bag I got from a trip to Berlin, I created a narration mixing images and typography.
I've been inspired by songs from a French group, « Fauves ». I wanted my drawings to reflect feelings of the songs, the shapes of the bag echoing the differents steps and feelings from despair to hope.

I reflected the intensity and radicality of the text by reducing my colors, using only shades of green, dark, grey and white.
 
The final work is presented with rounded edges and background lines like a notebook, and I followed this path by writing translated lyrics by hand, playing on the urgency feeling given by the text.
