YOUNG TALENT<br />
THE TOMATO CHRONICLES<br />
Sofia Freyre Viveros<br />
Graduate from Sint Joost School<br />
of Art & Design<br />
‘The Tomato Chronicles’ follows the story of Sam,<br />
an awkward teenager who transforms into a<br />
tomato when he feels embarrassed. The diary is<br />
full of awkward situations and embarrassing<br />
moments. It was written and drawn by Young Talent<br />
Sofia Freyre Viveros as part of her graduation at the<br />
Sint Joost School of Art & Design. As a young talent,<br />
we asked Sofia to contribute to this magazine and<br />
to the theme of culture. The part of her diary she<br />
chose is a typical Dutch cultural phenomenon,<br />
the ‘circle party’.<br />
Sofia Freyre Viveros: ‘I'm a bit clumsy myself and<br />
love humour very much. I've put my own awkward<br />
moments on paper. Embarrassment is universal,<br />
no matter where you come from, how old you are or<br />
what you look like. We all do clumsy things that we<br />
are embarrassed about. I don't know if turning as<br />
red as a tomato is also used in other cultures.’<br />
