Album Artwork for Fat Car Interior with Kristina Aliberti, 2024

This is the first time Kristina and I worked as a duo to create visuals.
Artwork for CRICKET TECH, an album by Fat Car Interior.
Some ideas, videos, and ghosts. 7th one is the cover.

It was Kristina’s idea to shoot under UV light
—something she had experimented with using her fabrics a few years ago.

PORTRAITS OF JUI-CHE WU

I spent an afternoon with Jui-Che Wu , on the day he left his new book “A Grasshopper Hops” at @tenderbooks .
As the name suggests it’s a book about a grasshopper that hops—it’s simply beautiful.
