Animal Farm — Reimagined Cover

This reimagined cover for George Orwell’s Animal Farm distills the novel’s critique of power and corruption into a single, striking metaphor. A wooden stool — cracked but standing — holds a crown at the edge, while a hoof hovers above it. The imagery evokes the precariousness of authority, the fragility of structures built on exploitation, and the way power is claimed not by right but by force.

The composition captures Orwell’s enduring warning: revolutions may topple rulers, but new hierarchies often rise just as corrupt and unstable. Minimalist yet sharp, it strips the allegory down to its essence — power always teetering, authority always contested.
