Is that all there is to the World?

Is that all there is to the World? is an interactive illustration book that bridges the theme of apocalypse and self-introspection. Created primarily with black ink, each paintings call for a reflection around the social and environmental state of the Earth. Through depictions of collapsing nature and unreal characters, the book highlights the loneliness that can be felt within society.
