SONDERSonder is the main project I developed
during the masters programme. It’s an
interactive platform that pretends to
simulate the effect of people-watching
in a crowd.
Trying to emphasize empathy and the
“sonder” effect. Explained as the
sudden realization that every single
human being out there has a life as
complex and vivid as your own.

SONDERWithin the Sonder website, some of
the content are comics, reflexive
illustrations, dialogues and links.
All of this in order to create
a complex environment which can
simulate the complex activity found
in a rush-hour crowd.
COMIC STRIPSIn order to explore vulnerability and
my skills to create relatable content I
have been creating short comics about
personal experiences and thoughts. I
have been putting them all up on my
instagram account to learn from people’s
reaction to them: @antoniapiaberger
WOOLGATHERINGScreenprint that was exhibited as part
of an exhibition organized by ECA
illustration 4th year undergraduate
students, around the concept of
‘woolgathering’. I think that to reach
that feeling we need a state of mind
where we can truly be relaxed. Maybe
where there is no one else? Maybe space?
Will it get lonely? Maybe the beauty of
it is how ephemeral it is.
The Woolgathering exhibition was held on
the Peanut Gallery Cafe. The reception
was amazing!
LETTERS IN TIMES OF COVID.This project was made with my friend Cam
(@cam.estela) from Chile. We didn’t know each
other that well up until now. This project let
us get to know each other better while serving
as a coping mechanism against self-isolation.
The following are instagram posts explaining
how it worked. The spanish digital version is
being distributed on Gumroad (link on image)
and will soon be translated fully to english.
Text on back cover:
Hello! How have you been?
We wanted to send you this message to thank
you for joining us on this project.
We know we couldn’t share that many letters
with you, but just the fact that you read
us made this journey between two continents
much more special. Now we have to say
goodbye, but hopefully we’ll keep seeing
each other. Maybe you wanted to tell us
something, too? Or maybe there’s another
person you would like to write to. We hope
those letters can come out of your mind onto
the paper (or the screen, haha) and find the
person you’re looking for.
Many hugs! And thanks for your company.
See you soon!!
Anto & Cam
Translation:One day we started sending each other messages.
— ‘How are you?’
We realized that we weren’t ‘fine’ and started
chatting.
In pandemic times a lot of things happen, at a
physical, mental and emotional level, of which you
can not always talk about. We had the luck to find
a safe space for us to do that: our conversations
through chat, voice messages and memes.
Cam and I met in university, but we didn’t talk
much up until I graduated and she was about to do
it too. We are very similar people, but we know
very little about each other. We have one of those
friendships that support and talk with each other
with no need of knowing much about our past. Our
practice and vision unites us.
During one of those conversations we had the idea
of writing letters to each other. And why not:
illustrated letters.
The idea was they talked about a certain prompt
we have lived or thought of this quarantine. We
know that in the future we would love to read
our past selves.
This project was born from the worry and the
acknowledgment of how important it is to take
care of our mental health, even more during hard
times collectively shared by the people around us
(and those that are not, too). We want to add a
something sweet to this bitter moment.

specially made for my personal use.
I have already used it in some comics
and personal projects. For now it only
has characters used in both Spanish and
English languages.
WIGTOWN FESTIVALCommission exercise for the key
illustration for this year’s Wigtown
Book Festival, virtual edition,
responding to the brief of connectivity
and representing the joy of sharing
a space together. Diversity is very
important to me, so I applied it here in
a subtle but upfront way.
CADAVER EXQUISITO‘Cadáver exquisito’ is a format of
collaborative work in which every
participant continues the work
previously done by another member. Here,
each designer animated 30 seconds of
a song (6minutes 30 seconds in total)
to represent the creative process of
motion graphics. We were given two
requirements: Only loose word and a
magazine print aesthetic.
