I took this photo of my ex lover at Croatian beach in 2013, converted it into black and white and applied contrast. For this cover, I applied extra contrast to make it more Carravagioesque, painted the original blue colour of the eye. I fitted the title so it’s legible but cuts into the darkness a bit. Since the cover is nice and minimalistic, but lacking some motion, I added fields of the same blue colour assymetrically and diagonally.
