Back when Thrival Music + Innovation Festival was being shaped, this little gang of robots came to life.

Each one had a name, a job, a personality, a purpose — and, apparently, a very specific private life.

One cared about climate. One grew food. One watched over the city. One protected humans from evil robots. One kept the grid charged. One was programmed for empathy. One arrived with flowers when tensions got high.

Looking back at them this week, it feels so relevant.

They were about the things we hoped technology could help us protect: food, air, climate, education, peace, humanity, community. It was fun to humanize these robots back then, to give them values, flaws, friendships, jobs, and a sense of humor.

The question that feels relevant now:
How do we make technology feel human enough for people to care about it?

This was such a lovely project to revisit, rethink, and revamp. (@dan_law_pgh , remember?! ) Eight years later, the characters still feel playful, but the ideas behind them feel a lot less whimsical.

Our answer back then was apparently simple: give the robots a purpose, a personality, and very good names.

We’re so excited to finally share the Fall cover of BOUND.

For this cover, the prompt was simple: build a monument to the flavors of the island.

Our test shoot quickly became the final image. Tropical fruits stacked, balanced, and reimagined as a sculpture. A monument to color, memory, and the flavors that instantly bring us to Puerto Rico.

Monolito de sabor.
A Monument of Flavor.

Process of ‘Let Summer Roll’ for BOUND. The craft behind the ball, building a blue set, the road trip to a New York studio, and of course, pizza at Roberta’s. Let’s go!

Editorial summer take over ☀️ @nataliapi crafted these paper and modeling clay sculptures for BOUND. A beach ball, a bikini, a hat, and sunblock all made by hand. Every piece built for the cover and articles of their summer issue. the kind of work that makes you want to stay in summer forever.
