Jef Maarawi’s Gospel navigates introspection and devotion. The design reflects the raw narrative of grief, masculinity, and unspoken confessions. The cover depicts a figure praying as they slowly transform into a candle, embodying the artist’s vision of internal struggle. Bold New English gothic typography anchors the composition, while a striking palette of deep blue and fluorescent pink extends across vinyl packaging and print materials.
The visual language balances fragility with aggression, echoing the album’s shifts from quiet folk passages to turbulent rock outbursts. Emphasizing materiality, texture, and the interplay of light and form, the design becomes an extension of the music’s layered complexity, translating emotion into visual presence.
