Individial

Hozier is an Irish singer and song writer known for his unique sound that combines blues, gospel, and soul. He is best known for his single, ‘Take Me to Church’ (Genius,2024).

As a tribute from a fan, I wanted to redesign Hozier's Wasteland Baby album as this is one of my favourites from his yet. With sounds that remind me of nature and poetry, I was led to create an image that depicts love that is one with the earth.

Process Work

My concept is consistent with Hozier’s music and “brand” by making references to his lyrics. As mentioned before, his lyrics have a lot of natural elements in them that the uses as metaphors for love. I also believe featuring an iconic couple from mythology, Eros and Psyche, would help emphasize this. In the title track’s lyrics, it mentioned how human love is resilient amidst the tragedies in the world, much like how the love between Psyche and Eros stayed loyal to each other despite the challenges Aphrodite placed upon Psyche.
