Before: A man meets Laima who helps him discover his past lives which is enjoyable and until he can’t get rid of them. The joys, terrors, wisdom and confusion of living them again in dreams that last for days ultimately leads to a surprise ending. It’s a man’s story, but men were ignoring this book. No wonder — this looks like a wicken manual for girls.
After: The floating eyes evoke dreaming visions. They promise fantasy and mysticism in a gender neutral color but with male eyes. The dominant color is sepia, the color of very old photographs, to evoke past times remembered.
