    My name is Alex Novo, I’m a photographer.

    The world without photography will be meaningless to us if there is no light and color, which opens up our minds and expresses passion.

    This risograph-printed zine and posters have three stories with a handcart, fire hydrant, and faucet as protagonists, depicted as living in Japanese manga style. The shell is the outer surface of the object; underneath the shell is the spiritual world. This spiritual life is characterized by aimlessness, and reward beyond that which is visible. It is the embodiment of emotion, but in this fast-paced era, the slowly flowing fantasy found in the spiritual life seems useless and unnecessary. I hope to encourage others to search for meaning and draw attention to hidden, but important, emotions.
