I chose to represent the land of Alifbay as mentioned in the book “Haroun and the Sea of Stories” by Salman Rushdie. The story follows twelve-year-old Haroun who sets out on an adventure to restore his father’s gift of storytelling by reviving the poisoned Sea of Stories. I focused on the map of Alifbay and the magical creatures of the land in particular.

Our undergraduate and graduate programs, offered through Parsons’ five schools, immerse students in focused training, interdisciplinary inquiry, and practice-based collaborative learning. Here creators and scholars master established art and design fields and advance emerging ones while studying a range of university disciplines.
