A sophisticated and mystical tale about the evolution of two diverse beings as they struggle to inhabit one world.Gagne has crafted a meticulously detailed and magical world through his exquisite black-and-white ink drawings. The art feels abstract and surreal, organic and lively, all at the same time. This minimalist, primordial world that Gagne has created -- one where creatures come in all different shapes, sizes, and forms -- is a visual experience on its own, but the thought-provoking nature of Gagne's story forces the reader to think beyond the book's square pages to truly understand its meaning.
