About
Surdori Sunrise is a senior capstone project crafted by UNCA students Ari Kostorous, Jalen Anderson, Emily Caro, and Sunny Brown.
It immerses readers in a short introspective graphic novel journey, following Kiran, a frazzled and lonely space traveler, as she navigates a solar system teeming with alien strangers, all while yearning for a place to call home. Through its narrative, Surdori Sunrise serves as an allegory for the complex experiences of anxiety, executive dysfunction, and immigration.
