Oktopus Provance is a band based in Aprilia, in the countryside of Rome, Italy. Their style spaces from experimental rock to stoner rock, greatly influenced by jazz music. For their upcoming album, they were interested in communicating the concept of feeling stranded in an unknown environment. They came up with this idea while the band was in Namibia for a trip.

The proposals shown explore the concept from three different points of view. The final one explores an immense universe in a minuscule space. The discarded drafts shown below represent an unfavourable desert with an equally unfair sun, and a symbol from the location where the "stranded" idea comes from.
