Tender, mystical, and introspective, Dream Diary: Book One is Reem Rizk’s debut graphic novel, exploring the imaginative parallels between dreams and realities. Accustomed to her daily life working the Saturn Concert Hall venue, Nour finds herself reflecting on her own once-dulcet aspirations. One night, Nour is pulled into a mysteriously episodic fantasy world—one intricately linked to her own reality. As Nour navigates how to honour her own aspirations—she confronts enigmatic yet familiar creatures, and unravels the imaginative connections between her days and nights.

Migration

The final comic in "Dream Diary: Book One" discussing grief & diaspora. The comic uses the symbol of a butterfly's rehabilitation into larger and freer spaces to show how grief will always stay the same size, but you will inevitably grow around it.
