Othello - Shakespeare Book Cover

Process & Materials
Linocuts

Concept & Background
For the Othello cover, I created an abstract arrangement of strawberries, transitioning from black to white. This design subtly hints at the play’s themes of race, while also directly referencing the iconic strawberry-embroidered handkerchief. Through this visual metaphor, I aimed to capture the essence of Othello‘s tragic narrative.
