The concept for the cover design was inspired by the title Kafka's Grave. I was asked to incorporate a drawing by Kafka—now in the public domain—as a central visual element. The illustration, which appears to show Kafka either sleeping or deceased, became the focal point of the composition. I placed the figure within a minimalist, geometric grave and positioned the book's title on the gravestone itself. This placement felt natural, as the title functions seamlessly as a literal grave inscription.
