One-Page Summary

Grass of Parnassus is a graphic narrative built around memory, place, and the transformation of ordinary landscapes into emotionally charged worlds. The title invokes Mount Parnassus, traditionally associated with poetry and the arts, suggesting that the work is interested in imagination as much as physical reality. Graphic storytelling can compress time and emotion in ways prose cannot: an image may carry a memory instantly, while changes in framing can make an ordinary object feel threatening or beautiful. The result is a visually driven work about how people construct meaning from the places and experiences they carry with them.
