Bonsai, 2015
Art direction, illustrations, graphic design and packaging for the music album "Bonsai", by Camará.
Derived from an ancient Chinese horticultural practice ("penzai"), which was then redeveloped under the influence of Japanese Zen Buddhism, Bonsai ("plantings in tray") is essentially a work of art. Fully made with love, patience, and plenty of dedication. Where each branch is carefully wired and pruned, buds are pinched with extreme delicacy, and water is poured with patient attention, in order to create a realistic depiction of nature...
A 600-unit special edition, printed by Grafica Águia and Sala de Serigrafia with Pantone Black C (offset and embossed silkscreen), on Suzano Triplex cardboard (digipack) and Cocoon offset (sleeve), was produced as a gift for the funders who helped the band to release their second album.
