Finding her.
I explored the relationship through concealment rather than a literal portrait of the couple. The cover became less about showing who she found—and more about the moment of finding her.

The lettering was built by hand to belong to the illustration, while moments from the journey were reduced into a small family of chapter marks.
A little evidence of the journey.
One side borrowed from the cover. The other traced the path through Imlil.
