Cover/Story

World events reimagined as visual albums.

What if history released records? COVER/STORY is a conceptual art series that transforms defining global events into iconic album covers. Each visual reframes a historical moment as if it were an LP — complete with typographic identity, stylistic tone, and emotional frequency.

From terror to protest, division to disillusionment, the works invite viewers to not only see, but feel these moments again. Imagine the sound of that event. What track plays when a wall falls? What rhythm pulses beneath a burning flag? What silence follows a pandemic?

Each artwork is presented as a vinyl mockup — giving history physical weight. These imagined records become artifacts of collective memory. They don’t just commemorate — they echo.
