Bubble Gum Stadium

Jalen Eutsey’s family has deep roots in West Perrine, Florida, and a strong connection to baseball. With this cover, I wanted to lean into that by evoking feelings of nostalgia, history, place, and “elevating the mundane.” I want the viewer to almost feel the warmth of the sun, smell the salty ocean air, sense the cool breeze, and experience the intensity of the moment in the pitcher’s focused concentration.
