PHALLAINA
Marietta REN
A graphic novel that can be read by scrolling horizontally on touchscreen devices. The story is set in a world where sea levels have risen. While people live in fear of the next big tsunami, protagonist Audrey finds out she has an anomalous brain structure that allows her to hold her breath unusually long underwater. Incorporating parallax effects and original sound design, the work offers a new type of reading experience.
