Abstract:
People of Places is a compilation of stories and images that have been constructed as a catalyst for creative exploration and expansion. This series of stories aims to celebrate the art of storytelling by matching images with a fictional narrative, told throughout the course of five stories.
Each story follows the protagonist as she reflects on her past through a first person perspective in chronological order. She clings to the imagery of places set in the past as she recounts her life experiences alongside the reader. Each story is titled with the date in which the protagonist is reflecting on her experiences thus far.
Five stories are included within the narrative, highlighting six European cities: Toledo, Paris, Granada, Seville, Valencia and Segovia. A singular protagonist is woven through each story, while her experiences and personal growth progress throughout each story.
