S.L.E.E.P
A Graphic Novel by Rayaan Sheik, Sagarika Dam, and Reshma Issac for the elective Graphic Narratives by Prof. Aditi Chitre at IDC School of Design, IIT Bombay.
S.L.E.E.P revolves around the story of an anthropomorphic dog who works a menial job and is gravely ill. The story is set in a future where the illness can be brought under control only by means of an audio drug that is available through a monthly subscription plan. However, the only way to pay for the subscription is to give up your memories.
The narrative briefly deals with themes such as mental health, addiction, harsh and exploitative work demands, socio-economic classism, etc and integrates generative AI art as key aspect of the narrative.
