Graphic design for the book »Annie John« by Jamaica Kincaid, Bokförlaget Tranan. A portrayal of a young girl growing up on the island of Antigua. About the struggle to find and understand yourself, and how small the step may be between strong love and hate. It covers issues as diverse as mother-daughter relationships, racism, clinical depression, poverty, education, and the struggle between medicine based on »scientific fact« and that based on »native superstitious know-how«.

Illustration made with a combination of cut outs and photography against a lightsource to get shadow and colour play on the cut out leaves.

Product: Book, 130 x 195 mm, 156 pages.
Graphic design and cover illustration: My Hellsten
