Fora de Casa  Picturebook
Watercolor, colored pencils and digital collage

Unpublished. This project reflects the emotional journey of a migrant child facing the loss of their home and identity. Through coloured pencils, digital collage and monochromatic blues, I explored memory, grief and reconnection. The textures and visible marks echo inner frustration and longing. Rooted in personal experiences, it's a story of empathy and of finding peace within the quiet ache of "saudade".

Developed as a project for the Final Project course unit, part of the Master’s in Illustration, Editing and Printmaking at the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Porto
