Cover Art & Design
A new normal needed a new you. It represents the metamorphosis of a person to find the universe that resides within, to find the solutions and dimensions they had previously not known. The album cover and the art had to be representative of this. For the cover, at the centre, you have a spiritually awakened human who is starting to spread wings, and within those wings, he finds the entire universe. The butterfly represents an awakened human spirit and a whole galaxy contained within them. The album cover complements the music, which is soothing, free-flowing, and new age.
Charu Chopra designed the album cover art with her unique artistic flair. She spilled a combination of fluid acrylics and dynamic contemporary abstracts to create the cover art, which was then digitally enhanced to provide the final product. For the artwork, the primary colors used were Pink, Purple, various hues of Blue (the colours of the galaxy), Golden (which symbolizes enlightenment), and finally, Black to enhance the already-existing colors.
The art embodies the fluid nature of our universe’s 5th element. It lacks sharp edges, well-defined boundaries, and shapes. It compliments the human tendency to be exploratory but with no end in sight.
