In Bezimena, Nina Bunjevac crafts a haunting psychological exploration of obsession, trauma, and sexual violence. Using intricate black-and-white illustrations, she reimagines the Greek myth of Artemis and Siproites through the fractured psyche of a disturbed protagonist. The story navigates the blurred lines between fantasy and reality, diving into the darkest corners of human desire and repression. With its evocative visual style and unsettling narrative, Bezimena is a bold, thought-provoking work that challenges conventions, offering a deeply personal and unflinching take on power and victimhood.
