In my story, I explore the fear of isolation and change inherent in major life transitions, and the importance of being open to change rather than stuck in nostalgia. I’m exploring these themes using the lens of science fiction, and I’m utilizing non-verbal and environmental storytelling techniques to build a world which helps communicate the themes of the story.
