All the Lovers in the Night - Mieko Kawakami

Illustrated from a passage of text from the book, published in 2022.

"I surrendered myself to a world of sound that could only be described as sparkling. It made my head sway, and my breath grew deeper as my legs climbed up that evanescent staircase, each step a sheet of light. They would shimmer to life the second my sole made contact, them fizzle into stardust when I lifted my foot, only to be reborn as yet another step, gently showing me the way... I took a giant breath, my utterly transparent chest sparkling with light as if id swallowed a nebula from tens of thousands of light years away."
