I was asked to create an illustration for the cover of Lennart Ackermans’ PhD thesis Probability, Causation, and Inequality of Opportunity.
The illustration needed to depict a cityscape and include two or more streets, with one showing references to a life of opportunity and privilege, with another street featuring bars, casinos and other places that could foreshadow personal ruin.
