Tintin in Tibet transforms the original colored comic into black-and-white ink wash. Tintin, as a symbol of Western adventure and exploration, simultaneously carries a narrative infused with romanticism and colonial perspectives, reflecting a "fascination" with Tibetan culture. The artist's use of ink wash interrupts this comic-based narrative, altering the viewer's experience. This transformation reveals the tension and exploration generated at the intersection of different cultures and artistic forms.
