"One step is all I have to take backwards,
to be the same old fool for you, I used to be"

In 2018, the NOW Gallery hosted the seventh and final Secret 7” exhibition, with leading names from the worlds of music and art collaborating to produce 700 one-of-a-kind 7” singles to benefit Help Refugees. The identities of their creators, ranging from talented newcomers to some of the world’s greatest artists, remain a secret until the record is in their new owner’s hands.
As part of the selected creators I developed a cover concept for Aretha Franklin’s “One Step Ahead”, inspired of the emotional turmoil of being ready to move on yet being unable to do so.
