she/ her - Why did you create this work?
I created this book cover for a personal compendium of poems about the delicate tapestry of memory, identity and incompletion. Omitting the title on the cover was intended to make the cover not just a visual object but a poetic one—fragmented, intimate, and open to interpretation—much like the nature of the poems within. - How were your illustrations used?
This cover illustration was created for a book I’m currently writing. While the manuscript is still in progress, the cover is being used to promote the project and as part of my visual portfolio. - What materials and techniques did you use?
I used procreate. - Was this project commissioned?
