Between some travel diaries to New York, Argentina, and Sumatra with random moments of tourist-y stuff and some disjointed short stories about love and heartbreak are some entirely nonsensical words and slushy images. It's art or its just pages to turn depending on your level of patience I suppose. ( ) no reviews | add a review
Vibrant swatches of paint build resonant portraits of heartache, childhood memories, and loneliness Sweet Time is an intimate rumination on love, empathy, and confidence. Singaporean cartoonist Weng Pixin delicately explores strained relationships with a kind of hopefulness while acknowledging their inevitable collapse. Her stories are like a series of snapshots in a photo album or the brightest highlights from an Instagram profile. Gorgeous image follows gorgeous image in a delicate quest to find connection. A night out turns into a chance encounter that is at first ecstatic and then quickly descends into awkwardness. A round of "he loves me, he loves me not" becomes a way of reading every action taken by a distant love interest. A couple find themselves in an artificially beautiful landscape, but the relationship can't survive their difference of opinion on the illusion of its beauty. In Sweet Time, thick and bold strokes of color mingle with delicate lines. Weng combines colorful realism with a gentle wit and introspection, crafting infinitely relatable stories of everyday life and love now. No library descriptions found. |
