Über Leben

In Über Leben, Maki Shimizu crafts a stark, wordless black-and-white narrative for Jaja Verlag, following a solitary figure through a surreal, post-apocalyptic landscape. This debut issue from 2021 distills survival into a series of haunting, visceral images, exploring isolation and resilience with a quiet, cinematic intensity. It stands out for its minimalist storytelling and the raw emotional weight Shimizu conveys without a single line of dialogue.
