Why Am I Me? by Paige Britt ill Sean Qualls & Selina Alko
One of the year's most visually and philosophically intriguing covers is Am I Me? The husband and wife team of Sean Qualls and Selina Alko has created a stunningly bold and colorful cover image. Readers will find deeper concepts embedded within the art. Look at the shared faces, each maintaining a uniquely individual identity, while expressing a shared perception. One thing that immediately caught my eye was the use of stars. The shared eye becomes a star, symbolizing a united vision. I grabbed a heavy glass star and went in search of the numerous stars found throughout the book. |
