What can we say? It’s the greatest love story of all, and there’s never been a better time for an immersion in the timeless poetry, passion, light and shadow that Shakespeare’s classic offers. Amid endless distractions, generational anxiety, and a deeply divided community, two young lovers risk all for something pure and true.
The more popular themes are typically the most difficult to create artwork for. We decided to go down a photographic route with this one, featuring the actual actors playing the lead characters. The idea reflects a love story, with reference to Verona and the night sky, but loaded with undertones of angst and death.
