Between Spaces

Graphic Novel, Written and Illustrated by Sayde Koetke

This project was inspired by my relationship with my younger sister. I had dropped her off for her first semester of University across the country in August, right before starting my final year of university. It was an emotional week for me, having to say goodbye to her, and leaving her in a big city to fend for herself.

I wanted this story to reflect the complexities of sibling relationships. How you can be fighting one minute, and laughing the next.

Throughout the eight months working on it, it truly has become a love letter to her.
