Kesusastraan, Kehancuran - Book Cover Design

KESUSASTRAAN, KEHANCURAN

The last Covid-19 pandemic fulfilled our helplessness as humans, while also renewing our perspective on the world. No matter what we sensed, things were no longer the same. “KESUSASTRAAN, KEHANCURAN” was written during that crucial time and feels reflective if we read it now. The idea of destructiveness is a contextualized option to formulate the post-pandemic situation.

Martin highlights it through a cultural approach, with a treat in the form of a review of history and literary works. In the end, the world we live in is not okay. Penerbit Velodrom presents it to readers with the intention of archiving the thoughts that mark the times.
