KAIA: awakening in the deep

by Ram Devineni (Editor), Laura Velandia, Faebian Ceruleo (Illustrator)

“ awakening in the deep” is the mystical embodiment of Natalia Ponce de León – a survivor of a brutal acid attack – she turned the tragedy into a national movement to tackle gender-based violence and change perceptions of women in Colombia. After the attack, Natalia plunges into the abyss of constant pain and depression that takes her on a journey to a spiritual kingdom inhabited by a giant snake with the power to heal or destroy. She returns from the netherworlds as Kaia to defend the vulnerable and protect the innocent who are traumatized by injustice and violence in modern Colombia.

Me sorprendieron las metáforas visuales, lograron transmitir un mensaje profundo y representar de manera mística una historia que impactó a muchos Colombianos, la historia de Natalia Ponce de León sobreviviente de violencia de género con un ataque con ácido en 2014, los mensajes de resilencia, aceptación y transformación se ilustran perfectamente.

Premessa interessante; sembra più un incipit che una storia completa.
