“Swirling”
Made for Comics Workbook
A kinetic page, where White seems to be working faster and with sharper lines. This page has the text serving to recontextualize the images that came before it.
The images go from having lots of force, to having almost an alienation to the character, to a melancholy. It reads more like a path TO floating/drifting than a path OF floating/drifting. The words make more sense with the row above it than the two rows at the top. But the process of reading is almost reversed, where you immediately go “right, drifting, like those last two images…” and from there suddenly a different sort of mood seems to come through the earlier images. It’s a product of the audience reinterpreting and rationalizing data, as they get it.
The title “Swirling” ties this off. It gives a place to each of the emotions, and, arguably, it describes the process of interpreting and reinterpreting.
