This book cover, inspired by Zadie Smith’s essay Joy, visually explores the tension between fleeting pleasure and deeper, enduring joy. A circle symbolizes joy’s completeness, while a rectangle represents the emotional spectrum behind it. Their overlap forms a sparkle shape, capturing the radiant yet complex nature of joy. Solid colors and clean forms reflect the essay’s thoughtful and understated tone.
