"Carved love" - Mini comic book

This is my second comic book that I finished just recently as a part of a monthly comic book magazine.
Carved love is a short, introspective comic about grief, routine, and devotion.
It follows an aging dwarf miner who spends his days working stone and wood deep within the mountain, and his evenings shaping those materials into sculptures of his wife, lost long ago. Through craft and repetition, his labor becomes a form of therapy — a way to remember, to endure, and to keep love alive.

The story is told with no dialogue of the characters, besides the narrative pages, even though the first idea was to do the whole story without any text not even the narrative part with the purpose of having the viewer make the story themselves. The illustrations were created with that aim but due to low number of pages for the overall book, I decided to put a narrative text side-by-side with the illustrations.
The comic is originally created in Macedonian language but here is the English version.
I hope you like it. Thank you!
