“I asked myself: is it possible to convey the mystery of nature in comics? To show the wind, the light, contemplation? Until then my interest had been mostly theoretical. I had never truly confronted that impulse through drawing, but I felt I had to. I needed to, also to confront my own psychedelic experiences, my paranoias. I wanted to place them inside a story, even include personal, autobiographical elements. I wanted to take on the idea of a dramatic narrative and convey a sense of mystery. So I asked myself whether there was room for that in comics.” – Lorezno Mattotti
