Western Tropic is a personal creative archive built around narrative, visual systems, and cultural observation.

The site is organized into artifacts and narratives. “Artifacts “function as a living collection of visual reference, photography, and cultural material. “Narratives” house longer-form story worlds and conceptual projects developed over time.

I’m Ethan West, a conceptual creative working across narrative development, art direction, photography, and visual systems. My work is driven by an interest in culture, belief, memory, and how stories and art invoke feeling.

This archive is ongoing.
