TOTEM HC

(W/A/CA) Laura Perez

Blurring the lines between the real and the spiritual,
Spanish cartoonist Laura Pérez leads the reader
through a dreamy journey from the Arizona desert to
the land of the dead.

Two young women road trip through the Arizona desert in search of
a spiritual awakening. Crowds gather to see the village wise woman
commune with the dead. Strange bright lights flash across the night
sky, provoking all manner of interpretations. A mosaic of experiences,
Totem offers tantalizing glimpses of characters on their own journeys
connected by some ethereal thread. The narrative slips through
time and space, delicately drifting from reality to different states of
consciousness. Like a vivid dream, this story is rendered through
eerie settings and potent symbols, a spiritual puzzle inviting the
reader to piece together.
