Isadora’s Feet
In 2024, I self-published my first graphic novel: Isadora’s Feet. The story was deeply personal to me and inspired by both the spirit of my hometown Montreal as well as my own life journey.
It's a story based in Montreal during the 90s where a struggling wanna-be ballerina starts working in the nightlife industry. Isadora’s Feet is a tale about ambition, identity and the thin line between chasing your dreams and losing yourself in them.
This graphic novel was a two-year project where I wrote the script and illustrated the full story. The translated book “Les Pieds d’Isadora” was published in December 2025 and has won the prize Bédélys indépendant francophone at the Montreal Comic Arts Festival.
