This handcrafted book cover illustration for the book “Howl’s Moving Castle” expresses the protagonist Sophie’s transformation. The story’s sense of adventure and magic are visualised by the main character, Sophie, who is floating in the middle of the night. Elements relevant to the story, like the hats and shooting starts, float around her, symbolising her growth. By the end of the story, she has found peace, which is apparent in her resting face. The piece’s fundamental composition is one of outward radiation from the flaming heart as a centrepiece.
