Monarchy - Syzygy

•

In 2019, EDM duo Monarchy asked me to make the art for their coming album and singles. The title 'Syzygy' refers to the astronomical phenomenon of celestial bodies aligning in a gravitational system, while it’s also a philosophic term to denote ‘close union’. Having those concepts as a starting point, we decided to play with balance in a dual system: two members, two hands, two colors, two orbiting spheres. The hands show distinctive elements from each member: Andrew's silver rings and Ra's actual tattoos. The album was released on digital platforms only, so we also created a short seamless loop of each piece to live on Youtube and Spotify Canvas.
