The Infinite Vacation #2

A stylish young woman with flowing purple hair and a red flower in her locks dominates the foreground, finger raised thoughtfully to her lips, while multiple versions of the same red-capped young man tumble and stand across a fragmented geometric landscape of pink and blue cubes behind her. Christian Ward's cover for this 2011 Image series captures the series' parallel-worlds premise beautifully — that dizzying backdrop of repeated figures across impossible architecture hints at a reality where alternates of yourself are everywhere. It's a visually inventive piece that makes the concept of infinite selves feel both playful and just a little unsettling.
