IZ 302 cover art by Carly A-F for short story ‘I Object’ by Kate Orman. A surreal, dreamlike illustration with a painted baroque fairytale vibe in futuristic pastel colours.

Bottom right is a princess who looks pensive and troubled; top left, Zain, a character from the story who looks hopeful, and is looking out of the frame.
