Reimagining the book cover for The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.
I drew inspiration from the mountains of Afghanistan, the vibrant blue kite, and the profound friendship between Amir and Hassan at the story’s core. This tale spans childhood and adulthood, weaving a powerful narrative of love, betrayal, and redemption.
For those who have read the book, you know this journey isn’t just about the past—it’s a reflection on the future we long for. I used bright colors to symbolize the beauty and innocence of the childhoods that should have been, with hints of the foreseeable future, reminding us how fleeting moments can be before the world transforms.
