Project Overview
In the book, one character narrates stories of "invisible cities" to the other, meaning the second character doesn't see the cities physically but experiences them through words and descriptions.
Approach
This cover represents the "invisible city" that remains unseen in reality, yet becomes clear in the light streaming through the window onto the floor.
