The artwork is inspired by the themes of frustration and the loss of control.
Through warped and distorted text, enhanced with a grainy texture, the design evokes a gritty, grungy aesthetic that contrasts with a delicate, abstract background. This dynamic movement within the graphic is designed to draw the viewer in, highlighting the unexpected beauty that can emerge from darkness and despair.

Inspired by the songs lyrics “You’re pushing my head under water, Boil my lungs as you solder, You’re pushing me down, down,” this design captures the essence of struggle and suffocation. The warped, distorted text paired with a grainy texture creates a grungy, gritty tone that contrasts starkly with the serene beauty of water illuminated by light.
The dynamic, rushed nature of the graphic conveys a sense of disruption and drowning, evoking feelings of loss of control and powerlessness. This juxtaposition between chaos and beauty aims to immerse the viewer in the emotional intensity of the experience.
