Systeemvoorkeuren

In this one-shot from Dutch publisher Scratch Books, Ugo Bienvenu crafts a quiet, wordless meditation on the friction between digital convenience and analog longing. Through a series of delicate, observational vignettes, Systeemvoorkeuren (System Preferences) captures the small, everyday gestures of a man navigating his devices—a subtle, poignant commentary on how our tools shape our humanity. Bienvenu’s soft, expressive linework and muted palette give the story a gentle, melancholic rhythm, making it a standout example of contemporary European graphic storytelling.
