This artwork is a visual interpretation of The Beatles' song In My Life, embodying the nostalgic and reflective spirit of John Lennon’s lyrics. Through layered cityscapes and textured surfaces, it captures the essence of memories—some vivid, others softened by time—mirroring Lennon’s reflections on the places and people that shaped his journey.

The black grand piano, central yet subtly blended into the composition, nods to George Martin’s evocative piano interlude, introduced midway through the song. This piano doesn’t dominate but rather complements the surroundings, symbolizing how certain memories hold a quiet, persistent presence in our minds. It serves as a bridge between past and present, connecting the layered fragments of memory in the same way the interlude links different sections of the song, guiding the viewer through a journey of recollection and introspection.

The softly blurred cityscape imagery combines urban scenes with a dreamlike quality, evoking neighborhoods and figures that left an imprint on Lennon’s life. These are places and faces that, although distant, continue to shape the present. By merging these urban elements with the quiet presence of the piano, I sought to convey how memories, especially those from our formative years, become part of our internal landscape, echoing through our lives.

The weathered textures and muted tones evoke the feeling of faded photographs and aging memories, inviting viewers to step into a world where personal and collective histories overlap. Ultimately, In My Life is a tribute to the indelible impact of those we once knew and the places we once called home, honoring how these memories continue to resonate, just as Lennon’s lyrics and melody linger within us.
