"Mush's Strange Journey" is my debut work, where I wear both the hat of an illustrator and an author. Written in Armenian, this fantasy tale follows the adventures of a little boy, who conquers his fears — of the dark, loss, and change — and with the guidance of his extraordinary friends sets off on a magical expedition to the enchanting Inner Land. During his journey, he meets lots of strange creatures and passes through many challenges, eventually finding his own light and inner strength
