Beyond Panels

An examination of comic panels beyond its the conventions related to it

The essence of this project is to examine panels through a critical lens by engaging with its core function in ways that are unusual and beyond the limited grids. Panels by nature are often understood as a series boxes containing images within a sequence to create a narrative or communicate an idea of sorts. This project looks into expanding beyond a grid and engaging with the panels and its elements so that its function doesn’t limit itself to just to establish a scene―rather it itself is a component that affects the contents of the works.
