SADE ADU: AESTHETIC AND ENERGY


An exploration of an artist that inspires me.

23.4” x 33.1”, Zine and Poster
Sade’s continued influence in terms of her aesthetic choices and musical talent became a deep dive exploration where I considered why she was still popular and what she has done to maintain her popularity. Her nature and lack of interest in maintaining an image in the media is what made people grow appreciate her more. Few artists are able to maintain a platform when they release an album in 10 year increments, but Sade has proven the opposite of what most artists strive for; the spotlight.
