Silhouettes #[nn]

A striking image anchors this 2019 release from La Cinquième Couche: a tiny, solitary figure in blue stands at the base of an enormous dark silhouette of a human head, appearing to paint — or perhaps summon — the looming form above with a brush. The visual contrast between the small, vulnerable person and the vast, ink-black presence overhead gives the cover an quietly unsettling, deeply human quality. Silhouettes looks to be the kind of thoughtful work that rewards a slow, careful look.
