Yo-Yo Ma & Emanuel Ax – “Hope Amid Tears”
Recorded during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, Hope Amid Tears captures Yo-Yo Ma and Emanuel Ax's reunion after decades of collaboration — a GRAMMY-nominated 3 CD release through Sony Masterworks. I designed the full package identity around Lawrence Sumulong's photography, which balances stark contrast with warmth in the musicians' expressions and presence. The design stays spare and direct, letting that tension breathe rather than decorating around it.
