Design Rationale

The cover design speaks to the volatility of having different worlds, cultures and imagined realities collide.

Under a shared sky, an allusion to a dream, we see the universal symbolism for our collective unknown futures, the fluidity of time and the powerful feelings it evokes. The distorted and everchanging forms gives meaning to the difficulty that lays ahead, the small violences that will take place in this venture to a new world. The strong, structured text juxtapositioned against turbulent skies conveys the hard work and determination for change. It is a broad, interpretive abstraction of a fraught but hopeful future.
