'limbo' . 2024

here's a short comic titled 'limbo', created by me and adapted by azim al ghussein.

originally created in 2005 as a junior in university, 'limbo' was a response to an assigned class reading in one of my courses. i don't remember much from that time, other than my introduction and fascination to studio ghibli films, specifically 'princess mononoke', as well as listening to kylie minogue's song 'limbo' (from her underrated 'impossible princess' album) on repeat! both heavily influenced me at the time while working on this story.

cut to almost 20 years later, clearing out my studio after being evicted, and finding my project tucked away in one of the many bags amongst the mess! looking at it after all these years, i was quite embarrassed by it! however, azim disagreed, and felt the urge to give a go at reinterpreting my story from long ago.

we launched 'limbo' at this year's focal point art book fair by the sharjah art foundation, at our 'great + everlasting' table. in pure azim fashion, he made 'limbo' so much better that the original with his added touch! i'm really proud of this collaboration. thank you azim for your greatness!

reach out if you'd like a copy of 'limbo'. and stay tuned for upcoming announcements once stocked in shops around town!

happy reading! and ending this post with images of the original comic from 2005. it's always interesting seeing works done in the past by younger versions of ourselves...
