• This front page cover portrays a message that during these unprecedent times we should all hold onto human spirit , this issue as stated is a celebration of human kinds resilience.
• This explains the mise-en-scene of the two women holding a hand gesture which looks like an infinity sign. This image connotes interconnection between human kind even through these uncertain times of social distancing and self-isolating.
