In Hell

The cover encapsulates Rimbaud’s surreal style of writing, with metaphors and symbols in abundance, while portraying his own journey as well. He lives in a city that feels alienating and brings all emotions to the surface and at high intensity, the scarce nature being a solace.
I used vibrant colours to highlight the intense and dynamic nature of his poetry. In spite of all the doom and hopelessness he expressed, it is hard to ignore the hope that is also present as something to cling to.

The cover presents a story of a young man walking in Paris, overwhelmed by thoughts and unable to connect to his surroundings, nature being a scarce yet powerful sight.
