In Vajza që shkeli në Abyss, Henri Dimo constructs a visual journey into the interior landscape of change. Using stark contrasts, fragmented panels and textured line-work, the strip evokes a moment of stepping off the edge—not into chaos, but into emergence. The “abyss” here is both literal and metaphorical: the space of risk, transformation and self-discovery. Dimo’s drawing style makes visible the tension between what we see and what we fear; what is known and what is possible. The result: a comic that is less about a sequential tale, and more about a threshold, a breath, a pause before the next shift.
