I decided to make a new book cover for one of my favorite novels written by Haruki Murakami. The novel has complex and interwoven storylines that blend reality and unreality. My goal was to include hidden clues in the cover that would gradually become clear to the reader as they read through the book. Whenever I read a book, I often look forward to certain moments that are depicted on the cover, so I wanted to include as many of those anticipated moments as possible. Additionally, I wanted to show the wind-up bird as a shadow that looms over the scene, just like its role in the book, creating a feeling of foreboding.
