ØZI presents an intriguing perspective, stating that over the past few years, he journeyed across the globe in search of an answer - who is he really? And what truly constitutes internationalization? Ultimately, he discovered that the answer had been within the environment he grew up in since childhood. It's only through delving deep into the culture and aesthetics of this land that he could find the genuine solution. This realization became the foundation for his brand "MANIAC."

 

We redesigned the aesthetics of the traditional facial makeup into the appearance of "MANIAC." This symbolizes ØZI's descent into a world of self-collapse during his darkest times. Encountering "MANIAC" inspired him, leading to rebirth after struggling and endless self-questioning, culminating in his ultimate act of defiance - lifting his sword and piercing it through his chest for rebirth.

​

"ADICA" is a completely new chapter, both in terms of music and ideas, documenting ØZI's breakthrough after a year of lows. Often, we overthink during the process of creation, or perhaps, in the end, we don't think about anything at all. It's like living through a lucid dream - in that dream, I died, only to wake up and continue living an ordinary life.
