First Poster
This piece draws on the visual and lyrical world of Chromatica—a narrative of self-forgiveness, resilience, and rebirth. Inspired by Lady Gaga’s music videos, lyrics, and costume design, I built a layered composition that leads the viewer into an alternate reality, echoing the album’s themes of transformation and healing.
At the centre, two mirrored silhouettes of Gaga’s profile represent a dialogue between past and present selves. Textural elements—spiked pleather, strobed iridescence, and slicks of eye makeup—nod to the styling in Stupid Love and Rain On Me, while layered gradients and paint-drip motifs reference key visuals from Babylon and the album’s opener.
Symbolic references run throughout: twisted black branches evolve into blood vessels, alluding to Chromatica’s branding and the tubing seen in Rain On Me; mountainous backdrops ground the work in the sci-fi topography of Stupid Love; and the final form, shaped like a womb, with glowing ovaries, embodies the survival, strength, and autonomy at the heart of Free Woman.
Second Poster
This second Chromatica poster explores the emotional weight and duality within Rain On Me, reflecting shared trauma, healing, and female solidarity between Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande. The central figure - a reimagining of Gaga’s iconic pose—stands strong and resolute, her symmetrical tears symbolising both past grief and the mirrored emotional journey with Grande.
Butterfly-wing and raindrop motifs echo Ariana’s visual language, while textured layers of spiked pleather in pink, purple, and black reference the tactile costume design across the Chromatica era.
The background layers lyrics as graphic masks, revealing a dystopian stormscape speckled with sci-fi stars, fading into city streets and wet concrete pulled directly from the video’s urban setting. A gradient cut runs through the type, representing the flipped camera transitions between the two artists.
Finally, luminous neon daggers punctuate the composition - symbols of past wounds transformed into power. This poster is both a celebration of vulnerability and a declaration of strength.
