L'émouvantail #2

The warm, star-dusted orange of Renaud Dillies' cover for L'émouvantail #2 — subtitled Cache-Cache (Hide-and-Seek) — sets a wonderfully bittersweet tone, with a scarecrow figure perched delicately on a wire, hugging its knees against the vast, glittering expanse. Two small birds share that same wire, lending the scene a quiet sense of companionship amid solitude. Published in 2019 by Éditions de la Gouttière, this second volume promises the same gentle, poetic charm that makes Dillies' work so quietly affecting.
