Intimate, tender and uncompromising, writer and illustrator Luna Pih’s new collection I Was Never Alone Again is a haunting, multi-medium exploration of polarising internal conflicts and the depths and vivacity of dreams and nightmares. Described by Pih as a ‘cluster of musings’, the works’ subject matter both transitions and bridges between loss and love; identity and self-loathing; anxiety and vanity. For all its darkness, Pih asserts that the book is a journey—a ‘means of catharsis: from chaos to eventual clarity’. Her voice is unashamedly unfiltered, and invites us to see the intricate layers and complexities of a creative’s ‘refusal to be plagued by loneliness’.
