7 queer little planets



Client: Personal Project
Brief: Create an illustrated book sharing my personal journey of accepting my queerness growing up in a conservative small town in Italy.
Role: Author, Illustrator & Designer— wrote and illustrated the entire book to offer a healing resource for queer individuals facing similar struggles.
Idea: Use personal storytelling and evocative illustrations to foster connection, healing, and visibility for LGBTQ+ people in less accepting environments.
Impact: The book serves as a deeply personal testament and support tool, helping others feel less alone in their journey toward self-acceptance.

Concept: 7 Little Queer Planets blends vulnerability with creativity, mapping a path through trauma and resilience to celebrate queer identity in a challenging cultural context.
