"Als Versprechen dieser Zeit" called for a visual identity that resonated with its vulnerable and intimate narrative. I began by painting an evocative oil piece, capturing the delicate emotional core of the book. This artwork became the foundation for the cover design, which I refined into a clean, minimalist layout, allowing the painting’s depth and texture to shine. The result is a book cover that seamlessly intertwines raw emotion with understated elegance, embodying the soul of the story.
Als Versprechen dieser Zeit
As a promise of this time
Eine Wandlung durch die Erfahrungen zweier Menschen
Raoul Eisele erzählt von den Kämpfen, die wir in uns austragen, von der Ruhe, die wir fürchten, könnte sie doch Einsamkeit bedeuteten. Und: Er erzählt von Geborgenheit, die der schützende Arm sein kann, der sich um uns legt. Geborgenheit: die das Leben erträglich macht. Mit seiner Sprache baut er einen Raum zur Begegnung, lässt zusammenwachsen und schafft eine Öffnung: für Fragen, die dazu zwingen nachzufühlen. „Als Versprechen dieser Zeit“ ist lyrische Prosa, die tief in die eigene Existenz dringt; über die Verkettung von Momenten, über Körperlichkeit und die Gesellschaft, die vorgibt, wer wir zu sein haben – bis wir uns selbst entdecken.
A transformation through the experiences of two people
Raoul Eisele tells of the battles we fight within ourselves, of the quiet we fear could mean loneliness. And: he speaks of a sense of protection, which can be the loving arm that wraps itself around us. Security: which makes life bearable. With his language he builds a space for encounter, allows to grow together and creates an opening: for questions that force to feel. "As a promise of this time" is lyrical prose that penetrates deep into our own existence; about the concatenation of moments, about physicality and the society that dictates who we have to be - until we discover ourselves.
