>It depicts a young girl with a gold crown covering her eyes, and a black balloon strung tightly to her wrist, painted in multiple, intersecting views, expressing that the "truth" is in the eye of the beholder. The child whose vision is obscured by a crown represents man's blindness caused by displaced values and desire, while the balloon embodies the possibility of escape and signifies the human need to transcend physical reality. The back cover features an oil painting of the same young girl seen from behind. Both paintings are inscribed with sculpted Braille poetry.
