What is This Eternal Coil
This Eternal Coil is a 20-page comic book about the emotional and physical journey taken by a Mexican father and his daughter after the death of their matriarch. The death sets off a chain of events which draw the father into a trip through the afterlife and the daughter to investigate the strange events left in her mother's wake.
Why is this story important to me?
I wanted to tell this story as a way for me to process the deaths of people very close to me. First is my father, who passed away on Christmas Day 2021 and secondly is my sister-in-law who passed away from terrorism in December 2015. What set my mind in motion is the fact that my father never got the chance to meet my son who was born in 2021 due to the Covid-19 shutdown. I didn't write this story with this intention but after plotting it all out, I saw so many similarities of This Eternal Coil and my own life blending together in different ways.
Much like one of the protagonists of This Eternal Coil, Abraham, he begin to process his own grief by setting up an ofrenda to mourn the loss of his wife. I also began setting up an ofrenda to my deceased loved ones in 2023 when I had never done it before in my life. This personal connection I hope will make the story more impactful for all who read it.
