I wanted to make an abstract cover that could be open to interpretation, however, I believe it has a subtle theme of isolation. The simple color pallet and amount of negative space give the piece an empty feeling, which is something I wanted to focus on. COVID, and by extension quarantining, has forced everyone to stay in their home. This piece reflects that through lights shining out of the house through every opening. It symbolizes a house that is never empty and always awake.
