This album cover design is for one of the most talented pianists in the world Nobuyuki Tsujii who is completely blind. His music is like a river of beautiful colors that can be seen in my painting by alcohol inks. So, I depicted the gap between the fact he is facing in the real world as the blind and the beautiful scenes he is seeing in his mind with the paint and black mounting board that is laser cut. I also used braille on the cover for people who are suffering blindness to understand this album.
