Scott and Flora are taking a nap. A scene from Emelie Östergren’s latest graphic novel ”Flora and Fauna”, Epix Press, May 2021.
Scott, a lost child that runs away to the forest to find a new home. What is dream and what is reality? What narrative does he live in and who made it for him? This story could take you to new places you didn’t know existed. You could also walk away from it with empty pockets or just a big tree to hold.
