“All children, except one, grow up.” J.M. Barrie, 《Peter Pan》
“I thought I was that exception, but I’m not.” Peter, 《Never Never Land》
《Never Never Land》is a graphic novel that uses J.M. Barrie’s《Peter Pan》as an intertext to convey the feeling of loss when emerging into adulthood. The project targets contemporary adults-to-be and wishes to accompany people undergoing a quarter-life crisis. The story begins with Peter following his runaway shadow and entering a world called Neverland. There, Peter overcomes challenges on his way to returning to the real world while unconsciously finding himself maturing to his definition of an adult.
