The flaps extend the cover stock into a structure closer to a portfolio than a standard paperback, giving the volume a physical presence consistent with its presentation.

His illustration work — collected internationally in art-publication contexts — is marked by design logic applied as narrative pressure: clean surfaces that hold distortion at a precise distance. This volume reflects that approach without explanation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eICONS vol.1 functions as a self-contained sequence and as the opening entry in a structured series.
