OVERVIEW > >

Everything Is Illuminated recounts a quixotic journey over a devastated landscape and into an unexpected past. The cover design draws influence from the culture of Ukrainian embroidery. It weaves together seemingly ordinary objects into a larger pattern, reflecting how simple items in our lives become extraordinary when they are imbued with the stories of the past.
