Cover Art: “The Unveiling”
“To become a fully realized person necessitates a calculated
stripping away: parsing bad habits from the person you want
to be, others’ beliefs about you from who you know yourself
to be, perceived inevitability from belief in possibility. This
piece depicts an individual overcoming the things that hold
them back. The sludge represents intellectual and emotional
darkness—doubt, fear, deprecation, numbness, timidity—
imposed by both the self and the outside world. Only by
intentionally casting aside the darkness can the individual
rise above it, shining and resolute, and reach for infinity.”
