"Ellionora the Space Janitor" explores themes of isolation, decay, and empathy through a hand-drawn comic. A visual style shaped by analog and digital tools frames Ellionora’s work in human-made space facilities. On Earth, it’s no longer possible to grow even simple things like apples—lost to the consequences of our own overconsumption.

Juryen sagde: Kaspar Dahl Tosti har skabt en usædvanlig original, levende og udtryksfuld grafisk novelle om en ældre vicevært i det ydre rum, der hjælper et væsen, der har forvildet sig ind på en æbleplantage. Det er i sig selv en fængslende historie, men også en fortælling der fletter temaer som bæredygtighed, nostalgi, tid og alderdom, sammen i en kunstnerisk tilfredsstillende form, fremstillet bl.a. ved at tegne efter de både fysiske og digitale modeller, der er skabt i forbindelse med projektets eksperimenterende design.
