Hermann Hesse’s timeless novel, Siddhartha, has resonated with readers for over a century. When composer and writer Rachel Fuller reimagined this classic as a double album, 'The Seeker,' I was deeply honored to contribute my artistic vision.
My illustrations and hand-drawn type for 'The Seeker' aimed to breathe new life into Siddhartha’s profound journey of self-discovery and enlightenment. Alongside the album's lyrics and narrative, my artwork visually interprets his quest for wisdom, offering a fresh perspective on this beloved story.
Working on this project was an extraordinary experience, collaborating with such incredible talents as the late Christopher Plummer, Pete Townshend, Sir Elton John, and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. It was a privilege to weave my visual narrative into this rich tapestry of music and storytelling.
