Ă rtico I opened the window just to feel that the cold wind is able to make me feel alive, almost the same way I feel when I am with you. I have opened the window to feel that my ideas are freezing and all those noisy voices in my head are silenced. Ă rtico, is a book of introspective reflections, written by L. Black Smith. I made a cover for each chapter, inspired by your texts, and with a strong relationship with the Arctic theme, and constantly referenced to the time of the first expeditions, all with a relationship to discover fantastic forgotten places.

GotelĂŠ GotelĂŠ, is a music band that is included within the pop rock. His latest album, vertical, talks about themes such as overcoming, hope, courage, and risk. Trying to follow your dreams even if they are difficult and risky. It's about climbing high, assuming the height, the risk of falling, and continuing to climb. The project was presented to me with the only premise that they were interested in themes such as clouds and sky. As a result of these concepts, I took out a whole imaginary, playing with the duality of risk-game, making references to slides and trampolines.
It is worth noting that some of the games on the disc, all of which refer to the fall, to heights, looking downwards, while the CD, which refers to the dream, in an aerial view above the clouds, presupposes that there is a floor beneath it; however, when the CD is removed, we discover a starry glimmer. In clear relation to the dreams and aspirations that are to be achieved.
