FROM FLOOD TO BIG RIVER

From Flood to Big River is a graphic novel inspired by my grandparents’ childhoods growing up in Taiwan during Japanese colonial rule and WWII.

​

I wanted to explore what daily life was like for Taiwanese families who were educated under Japanese rule, using my grandmother’s perspective to keep the story personal and grounded.

​

Ultimately, this project is about understanding the history of where we come from and encouraging people to talk to their elders about their own family stories. Alongside the book, I also created three promotional posters.
