This work represents the Beatles through the lyrics of their songs, building the four faces with 2,750 words.

I chose to portray them as they appeared during their final public performance, on the rooftop of Apple Corps. That scene crystallized one of the most recognizable images of the band, almost as if part of their public story had remained fixed in everyone’s mind through that final appearance.

The Beatles represented in this work are not only the four real musicians, but also the ones the public has imagined, loved, and reconstructed through their songs. The piece required around 200 hours of work, from arranging the words to building the faces, not including the lyric research.
