This handbound book uses design as a form of storytelling, presenting a series of collages that offer a shared visual language for the interpretation of ancient myths and conspiracy theories. Inspired by Jung's ideas on myths, this visual system uses ten abstract shapes in ten colours to represent the unconscious ideas and archetypes featured in these narratives, revealing recurring themes and patterns across both narrative forms, and showing how mythic reasoning persists in today's society.
