Behind The Artworks: Erdve - Epigrama (2026)
Epigrama's cover artwork features the first 2 out of 8 sculptures that we've made for each song
as part of the visual identity for the whole album.
An Epigram is a short, concise, witty, and often satirical poem or saying that ends with a clever
twist or memorable remark, usually seen carved on monuments or gravestones, we
aimed the cover (and back) artwork to have a gravestone-like impression, a direct reference to
monumental grave sculptures, the ones found in cemeteries like Campo Verano in Rome. While
dense textures represent a psychological complexity and erosion, those sculptures can be
considered as gravestones deeply weathered in the flow of time. Herein, the concept of entropy
comes into play, a universal idea that everything eventually moves from order to disorder, an inevitable and irreversible decline of structure. Psychological decline, insanity, addiction, regret,
grief, wounds, even skin wrinkles, are all subjects against the unforgiving nature of entropy.
Therefore, a weathered sculpture becomes an embodiment of truth, a symbol for the great
journey of life towards nothing.
