My comic was drawn and written for my Graphic Narrative course. It incorporates the autobiographical genre and racial identity struggles.
Identity Fragmented. Or maybe it was two separate selves. Trying to make a full person. I wasn’t always made of parts. They don’t go together. That’s what the instructions say. But I force them together. Or am I taking them apart. When I ask, “Who am I?”
My comic “Parts” was drawn and written for my Graphic Narrative course. It incorporates the autobiographical genre and the racial identity struggles of graphic narratives I read for this class. “Parts” isn’t directly a reflection of my life, rather it transforms it and places it in a science fiction setting. It mirrors my own struggles with who I am and with who people say I am. I had always felt like I wasn’t enough Latina to be apart of the Latinx community but definitely not white enough to consider myself not Latina anymore. In addition, I wanted to include robots in my narrative as another echo of trying to find your place in society and feeling so different from others that one feels almost made of entirely different parts.
