About the cover:
Adagio by David V35
(acrylic on canvas)
“While painting this picture, I was listening to classic music and thinking of how life at times feels like going through cycles, from childhood to becoming an adult. I thought of nature — plants and fauna — and I got this idea of how mother nature has been watching humankind since the beginning of time growing, changing, and becoming an ‘organized’ society, yet one that harms each other… then I thought that nature looks at us as her children, mad children fighting each other, yet she still gives all she can give. I wanted to show a representation of nature, hopeful for the future and worried about us. I have this belief that the land speaks to us, and if we can quiet down the noise in our minds, then we can hear it.”
