I was invited to develop the visual concept and design for Taiwanese indie rock band aoi’s 2022 single, A Bad Hair Year. The song explores the duality of hope and disappointment—a yearning for renewal, and the quiet ache of unfulfilled promises.

此專案為台灣樂團 青虫 aoi 的 2022 年台語單曲〈新年冬新希望（A Bad Hair Year）〉所設計的視覺主題。歌曲探討「新年是否真能帶來新的希望」，其中也夾雜著對未竟承諾與落空夢想的失落感。

At the center of the design is a flower blossom, a symbol of good fortune commonly associated with the Lunar New Year. But instead of placing it in a celebratory setting, the blossom is set against a stark black background.

This contrast between the festive and the somber—a good omen veiled in darkness—creates a visual irony that echoes the song’s central tension between expectation and reality.

主視覺以中國傳統新年象徵好運的「花開富貴」為靈感，將代表幸福與富貴的牡丹花，置於象徵不祥的黑色背景之上。

這樣的視覺反差，營造出一種矛盾的張力，回應歌曲所描繪的現實與期待之間的落差與諷刺感。
