MAGNA MATER

Mother Earth, embodied in human shape, appears among us to make visible the changes we often fail to see. This comic offers a narrative intervention, revealing how our economic models, societal habits, and cultural myths all rest on a single, fragile foundation: a stable and thriving biosphere. To remember that the ground beneath our feet is not a resource, but a relationship. In a world where profit is extolled like a prophecy, it whispers the deeper truth that even the most ruthless systems are built on something soft, green and ephemeral. With tenderness and tenacity, it asks us to reconsider our place: not as nature’s masters, but as its kin, its successor, its children. With quiet strength and fierce compassion, she challenges the illusion of control and calls for a shift, from domination to connection, from extraction to regeneration. The question is no longer whether change is needed, but whether we’re willing to change in time.

First episode of the online comic MAGNA MATER, which will be continued at irregular intervals.

So what’s next? In episode two, Magna Mater shows up in the city. She wants to know: how are we actually living in these bodies of breath, nerves, and wonder? She observes with care, trying to understand how humans use the vast spectrum of senses and abilities that lie within them. How do we relate to our bodies in a time characterized by acceleration, abstraction and decoupling?
