Invisable Walls: Tales of Insecurities is an eight minute animated documentary produced and directed by Nurbanu Asena. This short animation features four interviews all about insecurities, and each interview was turned into an animation by a different artist. I was the art director of one of them,(Ilhan interview) I did the storyboarding, and illustrations for it as well, I was supervised by producer Nurbanu Asena, who also animated it. The film was completed April 2016, but has not been uploaded to the internet yet due to festival restrictions. It won the Human Rights Film Festival 2017, Turkey Special Jury Mention Prize and was selected to the 10 best Animated Turkish Short Films at Antalya Cinema Foundation 2016. Please contact me if you wish to see the movie. Here are some stills from my part.

This Zine was created during SCAD Hong Kong’s Generate challenge.(2016) There was a 24 hour time limit to create the zine. The booklet is 7 pages(including the cover) and A5 sized, but due to page design 2 pages are bigger than the rest. It was inspired by the book ‘Invisible Cities’ by Italo Calvino.

Our zine won the ‘Most Creative’ award of the Generate challenge 2016. Later it was purchased by SCAD Libraries
