Casinha
Catarina Silva
Developed for Illustration Contexts and Practices, the book started from the choice of three objects from which an illustrated narrative was created.





The story follows a girl who lives alone in a small village. As the village grows ever smaller, she realizes it is time to leave. On her journey she discovers that the world is far bigger than she imagined. Yet despite the scale and novelty of the world she finds, she takes her little house with her — it travels with her and she keeps it forever.
