Wam Singles 2025
The series of cover art for Ganador’s seven singles takes the Platonic solids as its starting point – geometric figures which, since ancient times, have symbolised harmony, balance and the fundamental structure of the universe.

Building on this concept, a unique visual language was developed, in which each song is represented by a different polyhedron, conceived as a sculptural identity for each single.
Far from being digitally generated images, all the pieces were constructed entirely by hand. Each polyhedron was designed, folded and assembled by hand from paper, becoming a unique physical object.
Once completed, the sculptures were photographed in the studio, using monochromatic lighting that caused the object, the paint and the background to merge into a single chromatic atmosphere.
A different polyhedron was designed for each single, handcrafted from paper and treated as a unique object.
Paint of the same colour as the background was poured over each figure, allowing gravity to determine the path of every drop, every accumulation and every imperfection. No two pieces were alike: each intervention was one-off.
The result places the image in an ambiguous territory between sculpture, photography and graphic design, where it is difficult to distinguish what belongs to the object and what belongs to the image.
Each of the seven singles thus possesses its own identity — defined by a distinct polyhedron and colour — but they all share the same visual language and philosophy: to build before photographing, to work with real materials, and to champion the value of the manual process in an era dominated by digitally generated imagery.
The covers are, in essence, a photographic record of an object that existed for a few moments and whose transformation was frozen at the exact moment the paint finished covering its surface.
