Book Cover Design for Mahmoud Darwish’s Poetry Translation

I’m thrilled to share my cover design for the Bengali translation of Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish’s work, "এই শহরে কান্না প্রধান সত্য", translated by Aronno Apon. The design seeks to evoke the profound emotions and deep reflections in Darwish’s poetry, particularly his themes of loss, exile, and resilience. The cover blends abstract and symbolic elements, using muted tones to mirror the melancholic yet hopeful essence of his words. The visual composition reflects the haunting beauty of Darwish's poetry, where every tear is a testament to truth and survival.

Let me know how you feel about this visual representation of powerful, evocative poetry!
