I read these four short books, and they all seemed to be about people who were unable to control the direction of their lives. Chaos and hardship. So the visual solution became a chaotic coincidental order, where things float into each other, and even the framework of the covers physical borders dissolve. Also, the four lives the books were talking about were very much isolated from each other, they were about lonely people. The short stories had no direct relation, except belonging in this little series of books. But I wanted to tell them that we are all part of the same larger story, so I made the four covers connect.
