Happiness (Large)
Harland Miller's *Happiness (Large)* draws on his signature style of reimagining oversized vintage Penguin paperback book covers, blending deadpan wit with an underlying emotional depth. The work's bold typography and muted, weathered palette evoke a sense of nostalgia while the ironic juxtaposition of the word "Happiness" invites reflection on the elusive and complex nature of the concept. Miller transforms the familiar into the contemplative, using the language of mass-market publishing to explore deeply personal and universal themes.
