For Vielleicht habe ich dich nur erfunden by Tatjana Scheel, I designed a cover that reflects the novel's exploration of seduction, control, addiction, and self-discovery. The abstract portrait embodies a distorted reality, human connection, and the ambivalence of our perceptions. It visually captures the tension between vulnerability and empowerment, mirroring the raw and poetic journey of defining one's own desires—and the freedom of dancing naked in the forest.
Vielleicht habe ich dich nur erfunden
Maybe I just imagined you

The two women can't be without each other, but they can't be with each other either. Alex longs to be able to let herself go. But Sheela writes her own rules - without regard for the sensitivities of others ...
Tatjana Scheel tells of the overwhelming feeling of being seduced and manipulated. Of control and power. About addiction and searching. About the necessity to define one's own needs. And of the happiness of dancing naked in the forest.
