Behind The Artworks: Saüc - Catarsi (2025)

The cover of Catarsi, created by artist Joan Garau, perfectly captures the essence of the album: an inner journey through the emotions, thoughts, and scars that define us. The image depicts a face merging with a tree—a visual metaphor for the connection between mind and nature, between the passage of time and personal growth. Roots and branches intertwine with wrinkles and beard, symbolizing how experiences leave their mark while also making us stronger.

The dominance of blue tones conveys calm and depth, yet also evokes introspection and a touch of melancholy. It is the color of the mind, the subconscious, and the most silent emotions, while at the same time evoking an immense sea of inner waves one must learn to navigate. This chromatic palette aligns seamlessly with the concept of Catarsi—an album that seeks to transform darkness into light and channel the eruption of emotions into a purifying release.

The cover, then, is more than just a striking image: it is the gateway into a universe where each song is another branch of this ever-growing inner tree.
