Title Description
In a melancholic city of towering skyscrapers, bombarding billboards and blinding screens, resides a dopamine addicted society.
The hustle and bustle of day precedes the lonely isolation of night, as they return, alone, to soulless utilitarian apartments where screens consume their remaining waking hours.
Spiralling further into depression and anxiety, consuming more but never being nourished, one man falls into a mysterious underworld, where a metamorphosis begins…
And when he eventually returns to the city above, a seed travels with him.
A seed of community.
A seed of hope.
About SoXiety
SoXiety – an amalgam of society and anxiety, with an X representing the individual sandwiched in between – is the first book in The Book of Kin, an exciting and experimental series of Graphic Novels centred on community and cohesive kinship.
SoXiety aims to raise awareness of the impact that social media, news platforms and the rise of individualistic and narcissistic behaviour is having on us. It proposes a more collective and symbiotic existence that supports and sustains everyone in society rather than just focusing on individual needs.
The artwork has been designed to evoke emotions and engage the reader, encouraging them to disconnect from the digital realm. It aims to inspire and enable self-reflection and healthy debate and discussion. SoXiety seeks to stimulate conversation, seed new ideas and ignite positive and meaningful change.
Its purpose is to start a conversation or plant a seed, encouraging each one of us to question the way we live, and hopefully, ignite change.
