本期封面由 Ashley Miah 设计,名为《Chica de la Perla》。《Chica de la Perla》是 Lee Lee La Cubana 创作的迷人混合媒介艺术作品,以纽约杂货店为背景,以充满活力的方式向约翰内斯·维米尔的代表作《戴珍珠耳环的少女》致敬。作品坐落在戈雅画廊的走廊中,融合了多种文化和图像,引领观者进入一幅充满象征意义和评论意味的丰富画卷。作品的核心人物是一位波多黎各女性,拥有欧洲人的特征,令人联想到维米尔杰作中的传统少女。然而,她的存在超越了单纯的敬意;她成为了纽约波多黎各历史和身份的灯塔,她的目光和姿态散发着力量和韧性。在主要人物旁边,一只传统的纽约杂货店猫安静地躺在架子上。这一元素不仅体现了猫咪在这类场所的普遍存在,也尖锐地批判了近期的政治争议。猫咪作为“沉睡的害虫猎手”的角色,呼应了支持清除“不良分子”的隐喻,巧妙地影射了戈雅因支持特朗普而面临的政治反弹。通过《珍珠女孩》,古巴艺术家李·李将层层文化参照与社会评论巧妙地交织在一起,引导观众在纽约这座活力四射的城市中,思考艺术、身份认同和社会动态的交汇。
