Asphyxia is a poetic psychological thriller that follows a detective receiving inpatient treatment after the serial killer murdered his partner and took the heart away. With this design I tried to materialize the feeling of drowning in your own emotions and memories, without the ability to recognize reality. The characters come in and out using the paths of remembrance, interrupting Angel’s every attempt to anchor himself in reliving the moments of happiness. This room of fragmented reality, the idea of an image of a real object fading and sinking away from his broken mind is his jail without walls - and the only way out is through .
