Capturing the DIY spirit that inspired the music itself—raw, personal, and handmade. The design reflects the unpolished, spontaneous ethos of DIY culture, with photocopied images, hand-drawn typography, and scanned textures, all pieced together in a collage style.
The overall look embodies the passion and experimental nature of making music in a private, personal space. It’s not just about the album—it’s a visual representation of the process, of creating something by hand with heart, even if it’s messy and rough around the edges.

Arabic pop music and embroidery share a common thread: their ability to tell stories. Embroidery is a craft with which individuals throughout the MENA region and diaspora have interacted with to some degree.
