So this happened

So this happened is an interactive narrative. The story explores the personal dialogue between young women and how one reflects upon another to learn and share experiences and feelings. True intimacy requires dialogue, transparency, vulnerability and reciprocity. The viewer is able to explore the narrative online through still images, GIFs, sound files and text. My intention to use an unconventional format for a comic is to allow a wider audience to connect. This creates the feeling of belonging and sharing.
