'The Turn of the Screw' - book cover art

If you’ve read the book, you should see Benjamin Britten’s opera of the same name. 'The Turn of the Screw’ is genuinely one of the most disturbing and haunting novels, carrying undertones that we continue to see in society today. The piece portrays a young governess and a boy, with their expressions filled with mystery and tension, set against a backdrop of deep blues and shadows. I’ve tried to make the interplay of light and dark hint at the lurking dangers within the forlorn estate, where innocence meets malevolence. This artwork not only captures the chilling essence of the novella but also engages with ideas of the nature of fear and desire. Overall, I’ve tried to convey a reminder of the thin veil between the seen and the unseen - that’s the part that messes your mind.
