What happens when the Messenger of the Gods meets the modern internet? Across millennia, Hermes has witnessed the pace of the world shift, from the organic rhythms of the past to the digital clicks that now steal our time away.

Beyond the Talaria is a graphic novel that explores the blend of the ancient Greek god Hermes, the god of speed, messengers, and communication, with the modern tools that shape our lives in this relentless digital era.

By weaving Greek mythology motifs into our modern reality, this graphic novel advocates for taking a "pause" from the overwhelming speed of this digital pace as a means of self-repair, reminding that life is transient and meant to be lived beyond the screen.
