Awake

Written and Illustrated by Jeffrey Vizon

Awake, is a tale of a brave, young warrior navigating a journey of self-discovery and renewal with themes of transcendence and hope. The tale is based on the strength and perseverance of a girl’s true journey, which touched the lives of many, including Jeffrey.

Jeffrey’s evocative pencil artworks draw in his own experiences and landscapes from his home region, South West Victoria, to illustrate an alternative universe in which this narrative takes place. Below the surface, Awake captures Jeffrey’s journey of grief, hope, and life’s transitions that took place over the span of a two-year creative process.

Jeffrey hopes that others can connect with the raw emotion that has been weaved into this dream-like story so that every individual viewer can deep dive into their own emotions and find their own narrative within the melancholy world of Awake.
