NORA - TOTEM ( Copy )
Totem by Nora
Totem is a book created, written and illustrated by Nora. An exciting and unforgettable inner journey that the reader cannot avoid facing. Page after page, almost without uttering a word but with the sole force of the very powerful images, the book challenges you and continues to do so, in an ever new form, every time you choose to undertake the journey through its pages. Nora, an extraordinary artist capable of speaking with her art to the deepest part of each of us, has chosen to share this precious work. Thus was born the first comic that as Grafica-X we decided to self-produce and distribute, in 500 unique, signed and numbered copies, like a small treasure, a piece of art, to be experienced, shared and cherished. Totem is a story whose protagonist is a child without an identity, who wanders in a world dominated by nature. During his journey he finds himself faced with an unknown figure who begs him to stop: a Totem. The child is a wild animal, free and devoid of any form of bond. The Totem, on the other hand, has deep, hard and complicated roots. The child is what the totem is no longer, his last contact with that freedom and lightness of the past. The totem and the child have one heart, in different places of time. The desire to grow, to run to get to something, and the desire to go back. Unable to hold him back, he resorts to the violence of words, a violence that the child does not know but which he will learn with time and experience in the forest. It is right there that he finds shelter from the arrows shot from the totem and where something will begin that will change him forever.
Nora was born in Monterotondo in 1995. She studied painting and subsequently illustration and art publishing at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. She collaborates with various publishing houses and magazines for graphic novels, art editions and illustrated books and as a 2D animator for music videos and animated short films. She currently works as an illustrator and painter in Rome.
Illustrated book, 62 pages, format 29.7 x 21 cm, hard cover. Limited edition of 500 copies, signed and numbered. Distributed by Grafica-X from June 2023

NORA/LORENZO MARVICA - IL CANE MANGIAVA SOLO FARFALLE
IL CANE MANGIAVA SOLO FARFALLE by Nora & Lorenzo Marvica
The dog only ate butterflies is a comic written by Lorenzo Marvica and illustrated by Nora, published by pièdimosca edizioni as part of its CATRAME series, dedicated to comics and illustrated books. Alex, the protagonist, is a shy and introverted child. Following the death of his father, he begins to write down his memories in a diary, in an attempt to exorcise and deal with the pain he feels. Alex's account is highly ungrammatical, at times incomprehensible, the periods1 and places overlap so much that they become deformed, completely altering the timeline and the characters he narrates about. However, the clear thread within Alex's story is the experience of mourning: his approach to the illness, to the disappearance of living beings (his goldfish, the neighbor's dog that gives the volume its title, his father ), to the pain and confusion of loss. It is the request, by a child who approaches death for the first time, to understand why such things happen. Lorenzo Marvica managed to script a short, but intense and impactful fairy tale, without a linear narration of events: and Nora, with her pastel line, which seems sketchy and dirty but at the same time extremely precise and refined, manages to convey it fully , affecting the reader in a profound way, moving his emotions, making him fully perceive the emotions of the young protagonist. The edition is very pleasant, resistant and easy to handle. The binding and paper weight allow you to fully enjoy the illustrations and fully immerse yourself in the story without ever risking ruining or damaging the volume.
