Over the span of ten years, the narrative traces a harrowing descent—a chronicle of choices made not in freedom, but within the stark silence of locked rooms. It explores the significance of the uniforms we wear—blue, green, pale yellow—and the invisible scripts of power that dictate fate based on the color of cloth. Here, memory clings like a ghost, and survival demands the terrifying courage to forget.
Restlessly moving between languages and states of being, from the cold clarity of instruction to the chaotic nightmare of its execution, Daily invites readers into a mirrored labyrinth. Within its pages, you will confront the chill of recognition: the cages we build are often ornate, the selections we face are often silent, and the monsters are rarely the ones we were taught to fear.
Step into this unsettling arena. See if you can find your way back out.
Mukatin Sergei is a writer and artist fascinated by the fractures of identity, language, and power. Working across narrative and visual forms, Sergei constructs layered worlds where bureaucratic surrealism meets emotional depth. Influenced by Gothic tradition, folklore, and the stark realities of systemic control, their work explores the silent scripts that govern human behavior and the fragile duality of the self.
Daily is a testament to Sergei's commitment to linguistic and structural experimentation, weaving English and Hungarian into a single, disorienting tapestry. As both author and designer of this project, Sergei blurs the lines between text and artifact, inviting readers to experience story as both mirror and maze.
Sergei lives and creates in the space between words, where every narrative is a room—and every room has a door waiting to be unlocked.
