Invited by Super-Structure in 2019, I made a comic book about our looming apocalypse. Leveraging the silver paper and ink, the content evolves in a cinematic, neo-noir, dark romantic atmosphere. Original text and passages of Marcus Aurelius reflections on stoicism are mixed with little indication, acknowledging the popularity and confusion of that philosophy in the contemporary context.

The comic book was printed and published in 2020, and is available in sporadic book fairs in Brussels and Europe.
