No, no, I can see it! Look, the egg symbolizes the fertility of genius, awaiting its entry onto the world! But the smooth roundness and neutral off-white of it symbolize the ambivalence of genius, its non-allegiance with anything but itself.
Moreover, the world is cruel, and so the brown birdlike metal hook/latch/door-holder thingie, representing the fusion of nature and artifice waits to pierce the shell of genius, and unleash it upon the world, to what effect, no one knows, but the shadow looming in the background forebodes Bad Things. And then the people - their pointy form is actually suggestive of a keyhole, and their coloration combines with that to suggest that they are just trouble waiting to be unlocked behind their abstract and naive gazes! Madness! Madness lies within!
I got it! I totally got this cover art! Legomullet --> painful. Plant-head people --> disturbing. My Batshit Pony --> significantly less terrifying than required. But abstract bird-egg art? I go this!
(Yes, I think I am going insane. I blame class prep.)
