A Ghost Story
"A Ghost Story" is a silent book that follows the journey of a little ghost who is drifting aimlessly through a city, lost and all alone, when she catches sight of an advert for an art exhibition. The poster has a portrait of her beloved from when she was alive. And thus the ghost embarks on a journey to reunite with the portrait.
The book delicately explores themes of love, longing, and the ethereal nature of existence, inviting readers on an emotionally evocative journey through the ghost's ethereal world.

The chosen style of illustration reflects the whimsical and slightly haunting essence of the story. Beginning at sunset and travelling through the night until the break of dawn, the illustrator opted for a rich color palette, predominantly featuring shades of blues, purples, and vibrant bursts of orange.
Embracing a painterly approach, the illustration isn't restricted by heavy line work, thereby enhancing the dynamic sense of movement that flows throughout the narrative. This stylistic choice intricately weaves the visual elements with the storytelling, creating a captivating and immersive experience for the audience.
