‘The Semi-Fictional Character of the Day’ is a joint, one-month project by Louiza Mallouri and Constantinos Xenofontos. Constantinos will be sketching a semi-fictional figure every day, and Louiza will be writing an accompanying storyline, as inspired by that character. The aim of this project is to explore the way two semiotic systems, the visual and the linguistic, interact and complement each other to tell a story.
Everything seems better at my nana’s house. There is always freshly brewed tea in the pot, a record is playing and it all smells of cinnamon. At nana’s I can; and it’s my nana who said that there’d be days like this. And that’s comforting, because nana would have me believe that those days will eventually add up to something. Something good. And whenever I lose faith, I look at all the lucky charms on the chain she secured around my wrist. Everything feels better through my nana’s eyes.
