Safira Anabel
Bristol-based Indonesian illustrator and graphic designer.
I like to combine shapes, colours, and texts to visualize narratives and invite the viewers to take a second, even a third look, to understand the meaning and emotions behind the image.
I draw inspiration from myths, poems, and daily life.
Maps
A series of maps inspired by Japanese kanji and the idea to leave my 'mark' as an international student/traveller by documenting the paths I take while living in Bristol.
Shortlisted book cover design for Bristol Short Story Prize 2022
UNSEEN
A mini zine about summoning things you shouldn't because they might linger in your shadow.
Lost and Found
A short story about crossing over. Inspired by the myths of fox spirits guiding departed souls to the afterlife.
3 a.m
A visualization of sleepless nights counting sheep and not getting a wink of rest. A bunch of beds and sheep-words nightmare.
splash
A visualization of the "splash" poem by Charles Bukowski.
