Frog anxiety: a coping mechanism
honours project
︎ illustration, graphic storytelling, zine-making, publication design, dieline & prepress
Frogs are in an internet golden age. But in the real world, they are dying off due to climate change and globalisation. At the same time, existing metaphors for these issues such as starving polar bears lack saliency in the global south. So how can we use local animals like frogs to talk about the climate crisis?
This box of comic zines in the shape of everyday objects explores the potential of frogs as an emerging metaphor for the environment. Emphasising the non-linear structure of my storytelling, each zine is paired with a comic featuring a frog-elby hybrid narrator. Dive deep into my eco-anxiety, as we bid goodbye to melting icebergs and say hello to frogs!
