Detailed Description

This project delves into the surreal and labyrinthine worlds crafted by Jorge Luis Borges, interrogating notions of reality, fiction, and absurdity through visual and narrative explorations. Employing techniques of communication design, it interprets Borges’s themes—infinite libraries, mirrors, paradoxes, and alternate worlds—in a graphic and conceptual medium, offering viewers a contemplative journey that blurs the line between the real and the imagined. The work is reflective of Borges’s playful tension between order and chaos, inviting audiences to question the nature of meaning, identity, and perception.
