ABOUT THE ARTIST
& IDEATION
Bruno Major is a British singer-songwriter and guitarist. He grew up with a jazz background, so his music is heavily inspired by it. He has incredible musicality; people call him “songsmith.” He usually shares what he put into the lyrics, chord progressions, and inspirations. Astrology and nature are imageries, metaphors that he uses a lot in his songs. He also likes to use ciphers for dates and numbers. Overall, his music has all the feels. It is designed to make you cry but in a healing way.
For this project, I wanted to highlight his personality and the mood of the songs. So, I designed this around five words: safe, intriguing, warm, meticulous, introspective.

PROCESS
This project was done when I was in Vietnam during Covid lockdown. I spent most of the time on the roof of my house in the sun; that's where my family grows plants, flowers, and vegetables. I experimented by taking pictures of that, using photography, and cutting out letters to make textures.

The Sun shone,
because the Sun
always shines.
He sighed and wished that
just for a moment,
somebody else
would shine for him.
He followed his rays
past Mercury and Venus,
all the way past Earth
to Earth’s Moon.
She sat perfectly framed in
a vignette of stars
looking peaceful
and content.
How he longed
to be beside her.
