zig zag identity element

Journey of a Troubled Mind is a graphic novel/picturebook inspired by classic fantasy novels, mythology, pop art, and stories such as Alice in Wonderland, The Little Prince, and many more. Text and artwork work hand-in-hand to create a unique allegory. On the surface, it appears as a typical fairy tale about the hero’s journey. However, this story is a diary of the unconscious mind, and the adventure is a metaphor for personal struggles. The underlying structure overlaps with the concepts of collective archetypes, mentioned first in the works of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung.

All the artwork in this book was drawn by pencil, traced manually with china ink and fine liners, then colored digitally in Procreate and Photoshop.

I am not what happened to me, I am who I choose to become.

Carl Gustav Jung

The book is divided into four sections:

  • The novel “Journey of a Troubled Mind” — almost a fairy tale of William’s and Tibo’s Journey
  • A simple introduction to concepts of collective unconscious and archetypes of Carl Jung
  • A glossary of Jungian archetypes
  • List of references and hidden symbols from mythology, art, and pop culture.

The journey continues… The artwork from the novel will be offered in form of NFTs, fine prints, apparel, and accessories. And of course, the sequel of the book in a few years from now.
