The City Kathryn McCawley The City is a short graphic narrative exploring the life of a young woman in a desolate abandoned city. Having come to it in promise of paradise, the woman is now trapped in a decaying landmark where its few remaining residents aimlessly wander from place to place through a directionless subway system. This graphic narrative explores issues of social isolation, of contemporary urban life’s omnipresent impermanence, and of the haunting sense of aimlessness that we all face. The City imagines a near future not too far from the reality we face today.
