While perusing a family photo album the other day, this image of my daughter caught my attention. Drawing inspiration from iconic album cover art of the past, I converted it to a high contrast black and white image to create a minimalistic and timeless aesthetic.

“Young Fortitude” captures the essence of resilience and strength embodied in youth. The image of a young child standing alone, bathed in stark contrast between light and shadow, evokes a sense of raw emotion and introspection, like much of the best music. The child’s silhouette, with an oversized helmet, walking forward and followed by a hazy shadow, symbolizes both vulnerability and courage, mirroring themes often explored in music—growth, struggle, and triumph.
