My task was not simply to design a book, but to create a physical object that offers a layered, immersive experience for both the reader and the listener. The project brings together sound, music, and image, combining artistic photography, song lyrics, the singer’s personal reflections, and the intimate stories that shaped the songwriting process. These elements form a cohesive, multi-layered narrative that extends beyond traditional print.
The album’s subtitle, “Conversation with Light and Darkness,” reflects the central concept: light does not exist without darkness. This duality guides the visual language, mirroring the rhythm and emotional flow of the songs through imagery and carefully crafted graphic details. Subtle, playful yet expressive graphic elements reinforce this theme and evolve into small animations across the artist’s Spotify and YouTube channels. The result is a unified visual system that seamlessly bridges physical and digital experiences.
