Designed by Missy Blake
The cover has an illustration designed by Missy Blake and represents on the upper left back corner the moment we enter the world to the lower left front cover representing our eventual departure. The ribbon weaves through countless twists and turns, each marked by distinct colors, flavors, moods, and ways of being. The ribbon twists and turns organically, observing the spectrum of colors as it dances between light and shadow.
The cover aims to encapsulate the representation of life—an ethereal sheet, transparent enough to reveal the depths of an individual’s torment or joy. The ribbon, when wider, signifies the fullness of an experience, whether intensely traumatic or profoundly beautiful. The narrower lines denote those rare moments when one can step outside of an experience and simply be, unfettered by the weight of emotions.
