Book cover design for Juan Gabriel Vásquez's 2022 novel, Retrospective, published by Maclehose Press.
The cover explores the tenuous ties we have to our past and our memories, creating a timeline of sorts across the front of the jacket. The ripped, fragmented title type suggests an only partial relation between past and present, strung together by ever weakening lines.
