ディザインズ [Designs] #4

Igarashi Daisuke's Designs volume 4 delivers a cover that is immediately arresting: pale, almost sculptural human figures — one standing, one crouching — are surrounded by a dense, dreamlike swirl of marine creatures (fish, sharks, a nautilus shell) and an incongruous array of assault rifles and automatic weapons, all rendered in delicate watercolor washes against a vivid yellow ground. The collision of organic natural forms with military hardware gives the image a quietly surreal tension that feels both beautiful and unsettling. Fans of Igarashi's meticulous, nature-saturated visual style will find this volume a compelling continuation of the series.
