Making my own comic book is my dream since I was very young. One part of my master project is making comic books. I send the doll which I made to the participants let them play with them. After one month I write the story basic on their experience.

Stories are fundamentally chains of cause and effect wrapped around the truth. Those stories could lead one on a journey to discover the development of the character that I designed for the dolls and the relationship between dolls and participants. The stories I received from the participants are their own stories and experiences. They plot what they said and the description of the events on the question card is unique to them, but some experiences are universal.
To interpret their world to a general audience, I decided to use comic books as a format to visualize their stories. Comics are visual images that embrace all of the senses within it. All pictures, words, different symbols, and everything in between in the comic are all present in a single vision.
