the red "sun" makes me think of it being the manic portion of his bipolar disorder, eclipsing the "black hole"/"moon", which is the depressive portion.
the plains could either be Heaven or Cody. or maybe that Cody is sorta his sanctuary.
I almost feel like the Green and ground represents Donda and also life
Also if you flip it sideways it maintains the same order of
Green- Life
Blue sky- Ether
Orange- Divine entity
Bleeding into darkness beyond
It's heaven mixed with Wyoming (Cody)
On the left is Ray, in the middle young ye and on the right is Donda. Donda is red because she's dead but the spirit from Donda is always with him and Ray.
The sun with the eclipsing black hole shows his bipolar disorder and his manic episodes.
Where have we seen the figure on the left before I know for a fact Kanye has posted a picture of that before I can’t remember from where tho

Looks like the 30 hours artwork from soundcloud

I like this explanation
Left to right: North, Saint, Kanye. I’m 100% sure I’ve seen a picture of Saint with the pose in the center and the left figure has hair buns and looks like a pose North would do. Right image is ye dancing.
My theory is there’ll be a reverse cover with Chicago, Psalm, and Kim with a black hole eclipsing an orange sun.

that would be cool but also pretty extra

Oh yeah I see it now. Lol middle figure looks like a pose from saint and left figure is def north
1) It looks like the Sun came out of its place to bring the figures to itself. It could be that this is a UFO that pretended to be the Sun and that is abducting the figures.
2) It looks like the icon of the Transfiguration. In this case, the orb is Jesus and the figures are being filled with His light. cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1136/4188/products/P3_copy__46735.1380037873.1000.1200_400x.jpeg
3) Maybe a mix of both: the black hole is a spaceship abducting the figures but the orb comes in the middle to intercede and save them.This is in line with the modern interpretation that encounters with "aliens" are demonic experiences (see for instance Fr Seraphim Rose's "Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future").
3.5) To add to the above: because the previous album title was "Donda With Child", which is a reference to the "Mary with child" icon, perhaps the orb is Donda West and the figures are her children, that is, the people she prays for.

Also, about the first interpretation, maybe this is a good thing and Kanye thinks aliens are good angels or something. But maybe it's a bad thing. If so, not only does the orb look like a UFO, but it also looks like Saturn. Satan...
i tried saying this in album thread but to me the clouds almost look like hands, maybe the symbolizing the hands of god
I feel like these children are souls descending upon the Earth & floating in the ether waiting to be born.
The sun representing God sends these souls on an ultralight beam (solar flare) down to earth. If you remember WUITB music video Kanye showed solar flares several times in the music video so I’m thinking that has something to do with the album concept
The vat behind the sun is the rest of the universe God has not blessed with Life
It's so nice seeing all this discussion about the cover after the JIK vinyl cover lmao
