Description

Day of the Dead is a Mexican cultural festival that celebrates life through music, art, and remembrance.
Rather than mourning, the festival embraces joy, color, and rhythm, bringing the living and the dead together in a shared celebration.
This campaign translates the spirit of the festival into visual form, using music as the central language that connects worlds, cultures, and emotions.
