Book cover

This assignment really stumped us! We had to photograph for a book cover that was titled "You must be the change you want to see in the world," a quote from Gandhi. It was so hard to come up with a way to illustrate this. The front of the cover is the glazed vase and the back was the unglazed vase. I took the approach that we are all vessels to do/carry out things and that clay is a very moldable object, easily changed, waiting for the potter to put his hands on to shape into a masterpiece. After shaping  the beauty comes out in the glaze that is applied.
