The Silhouette Formula

1
Color stops you cold
A single saturated field fills the entire frame. No gradients, no texture, no escape from the feeling.
2
Black is the dancer
Silhouetted figures mid-motion become universal. Any body, any city, any beat — the same truth.
3
White is the product
Only the player and its earbuds catch light. They glow against the void like a signal in the dark.
4
The cord draws the line
White cables trace gestural paths through negative space, connecting body to device to music.
