This novel is one of my favourites. I wanted to visually express the essence of the novel—the intersection of human curiosity and the vast unknown of space. The organic, flowing lines represent abstracted radio signals or celestial orbits, while the nebula painting directly ties to the interstellar distances, while the integration of nebula windows within the portrait adds a sense of intrigue to the subject. The goal was to bring a fresh perspective to the classic narrative, making it compelling for both new and longtime readers.
