“It’s difficult to explain the process of creating this artwork, because intuition/feeling is usually my main ‘tool’ to come up with ideas and it’s really hard to translate words into music. I’m not used to that! The first thing I do is to listen to the track, and since I don’t understand English very well, I read the lyrics. What I like about Bloc Party is that their lyrics are quite sophisticated. The music is really efficient, straightforward, raw—and I like its energy, its simplicity. While listening to the track and reading the lyrics, I thought the main color would be gray, with some bits of bright colors. Also, I’m more comfortable working on a character (I can’t help myself), and I wanted to use photographs instead of graphics to make more ‘grownup’ artwork. The rest is just feeling. I haven’t conceptualized the process too much; I leave a lot of room for feeling and chance.”
