Art Direction + Design: Arman Paxad

Illustrator: Keiman Mahabadi

When looking for ideas for depicting the concept of fate (based on the meaning of the word "Orlay", the concluding track on the EP), I started to look into photos of wilting flowers and came across one called "Orlaya" which grows in small bunches that look almost perfectly round from the top. Being the perfect fit for the record, I asked my friend Keiman to do a small painting of a wilting Orlaya and then created the artwork by removing the middle and rearranging the petals and adding some effects. The final piece indicates the inevitability of time and the fact that everything, good or bad, has to come to an end.
