MILL WHEELS

The topic at hand begins with a description of a murky and dark reality. But it ends up enlightened. Before making “Mill Wheels” cover, I had made “Illusions”, which is a love song full of joy. I wanted to continue along that “shinny” line and, for this reason, on the “Mill Wheels” cover I tried to capture the last fragment of the poem: to reflect everything that the text suggests to temporarily get out of a suffocating reality.

      We work around three concepts: contemplation, the circle and the turn. The mill wheel refers to the old grain mills moved by the force of the river . A metaphor of the eternal movement (the wheel, the circle) through the unstoppable movement of water (life).

      The world is there, in motion, circling, spinning. He is absorbed, immobile, but in conjunction with his surroundings, sitting in the middle of life, enjoying the intimacy of the musician who performs without an audience while life keeps on moving. The person in the image is Joan Pocurull, Mussia composer and guitarist.
