The author approached me to illustrate a cover for her book of poems. She had a vision which we discussed, and I helped her bring it to life. We put together a mood-board and I worked on a bunch of concepts.

The challenge was how to depict 'solo trip' without the usual visuals like luggage or people walking, the author wanted to move away from the cliche. Visually the mood had to be slightly melancholic, which we were able to achieve through the earthy and subtle colour palette. This was a wonderful opportunity for me to work slightly out of my comfort zone and I thoroughly enjoyed the process.
