    paper LOLLAPALOOZA chile 2025

    This is my collaboration with Lollapalooza Chile 2025.
    I was given complete creative freedom to develop the pieces, and I chose to focus on a more abstract approach—one rooted in what truly connects us: our senses.
    My intention with these illustrations was to capture the sensations we experience when listening to music—that moment when we become fully immersed in sound. I wanted to translate that sensory connection into visuals.
    I chose this direction because I believe that in festivals like this one, what truly brings us together are the emotions we share. Music holds a unique power: it’s universal, transcending age, gender, and race.
    Beyond cultural differences, our sensations are both unique and deeply similar. That’s why this entire project was built from that place—the sensory experience as a common ground.
