One side of the head is partially overtaken by a small bonsai-like tree. A thick, golden snake coils around the figure’s neck.

The album cover for Snow Flower by Tenzin Choegyal, in collaboration with Matt Corby, Rohin Jones, and Alex Henriksson, is a fusion of traditional Tibetan iconography and modern digital surrealism. It features a vividly blue-skinned, meditative figure resembling a Buddhist deity, adorned with intricate jewelry, a third eye, and a serene expression. The figure’s body is partially melting or dripping away, revealing an explosion of colorful, abstract patterns beneath, reminiscent of contemporary psychedelic art. Surrounding the figure are butterflies. The typography is bold and modern, with Tibetan script alongside English text, set against a pastel pink and blue background.
