Burning Sands

Barbora Lovíšková

Konstfack - University Of Arts Crafts and Design

Burning Sands is a graphic novel exploring themes of home, belonging and migration. Its story is set in a fantastical world, covered by lethal sands, and inhabited by giant creatures with cities on their backs. People both welcome and fear their collision, as it brings opportunities for trade and migration, but also the possibility of a terrible disaster. I finished the first part of the graphic novel in June 2026 as my Master's thesis at Konstfack University of the Arts, Crafts and Design. Technique: Risography Dimensions: 183 mm x 283 mm, 32 pages
