DELANILA is the dark, experimental rock project from composer and artist Danielle Eva Schwob. Her debut record 'Overloaded' dives into themes of personal isolation in a world of technological connectivity.
We explored visual metaphors to speak to those themes for the album release cycle.

So we commissioned multi-talented artist Jessica Polzin to create a pair of unsettling sequined eyes, and used them throughout the packaging.
