The song Hereafter by Architects represents the struggle of those battling with loss and grief of their loved ones. Taken inspiration from that, the haptic drawing incorporates patterns and materials such as metal orbs and spikes, paying homage to the metalcore genre while symbolizing the emotional depth of the song : an outburst of the deepest emotions, ready to overcome pain. The model's main part is an iron wire shaped into a creature-like arm, struggling to contain the explosive outpouring of emotions depicted in the song. Finally, plastic petals are introduced to recreate the underwater environment that haunts the melody as well as to create the illusion of an actual explosion. Through this haptic representation, the song's essence is portrayed, letting people think about grief, strength, and finding hope in tough times.
