I developed the illustrations for a website that was later published as a book, featuring original arguments for films that don’t yet exist—except on paper. Through my illustrations, I bring these cinematic worlds to life, visually interpreting stories crafted by various screenwriters. Each piece captures the essence, mood, and atmosphere of these imagined films, offering a glimpse into narratives waiting to unfold on the big screen.

This project bridges the gap between literature and cinema, inviting audiences to experience the magic of storytelling through both words and images.
