Background information:
There are verious Dutch translations for the word ‘engaged’, one of them is something like ‘inspired’. It refers to ‘flying, and this meaning was the inspiration for this cover design concept. Also, Nicole told me about the statue of two birds in her garden. I have merged the exact shape of this statue of these birds into a prominent spot on the cover.
