ON THE RECORD
TURN AND FACE THE STRANGE
David Bowie built a career on transformation—moving from alien outsider to refined icon, always just ahead of expectation. His visual language was as striking as his music. A constant play between distance and intimacy.
Andy Warhol’s flower motif opens to reveal the universe — radiant, and artificial—echoing Bowie’s fascination with surface, fame, and constructed identity. Seated above it, he feels otherworldly and unreadable, as if suspended between personas, quietly observing from somewhere just beyond reach.
The title, Turn and Face the Strange, drawn from “Changes,” captures that tension—the boldness to confront the unknown and step fully into transformation.
He’s an alligator, a mama-papa coming for you.
