Cover Adaptation of Heaven
“Listen, if there is a hell, we're in it. And if there's a heaven, we're already there. This is it.” – Mieko Kawakami. Inspired by the emotional depth of Heaven, I redesigned the cover to reflect the novel’s contrast between brutality and tenderness. Kawakami explores themes of isolation and cruelty, juxtaposed with moments of fragile connection and youthful purity. Through the relationship between text and image, I aimed to convey the emotional tension between the harshness of the world and the brief, delicate innocence that still lingers in the characters' lives.
