The Bench, A Homeless Love Story is a graphic novel inspired by the literary work of NYC Playwright, Robert Galinsky. It spring boards into visual explorations interweaving universal complexisites of the human experience, such as love, survival, aspirations, friendships, through the lens of the destitute and cast away.
