In a 2025 post to his Patreon[https://www.patreon.com/posts/25-years-of-nins-144077283], [[Rob Sheridan]] elaborated on the process of creating the artwork and how it informed his creativity going forward: <blockquote>"As a companion album to 1999's ''The Fragile'', ''Things Falling Apart'' needed to closely follow [[David Carson]]'s art direction / design from ''The first Fragile'' while carving out its own identity. I'd been working with Carson's style for the past year by this point, adapting it to my own designs for album art and tour promo materials, websites, merchandise, and the [[Fragility]] tour book, so Trent felt confident that I was ever tasked ready to tackle an album design. This was probably a much bigger deal to me than it was to him; as a die-hard NIN fan, the weight of permanently leaving my mark on the catalog of Nine Inch Nails halos (the internal numbering system used for official Nine Inch Nails releases) weighed heavily on my young shoulders. Thankfully, I had some time throughout 2000 to prepare and experiment. It began with making taking a lot of photos, as many as I could wherever I was for NIN, to start finding my own way through David Carson's "Things Falling Apartdirection." It My photography of the flowers was of course a companion album to "thematic continuation of Carson's photos for ''The Fragile'', but also of Robert Hales' work on ''[[The Day The World Went Away (halo)|The Day The World Went Away]]'' single," which David started ''The Fragile'' era's flower theme in a much more formal style than Carson did the art for's.  Carson was a design hero of mine, so of course playing in his style was exhilarating but also very intimidating for a very young, very new designer. A lot of Carson's imagery was accidental abstract snapshots of every day things his surroundings that he'd capture unconventionally, sometimes with disposable cameras and polaroids, and the out-of-focus nature recontextualizing small details of them turned simple things found objects into abstract art and then employing it thematically into his designs (the red texture on the cover of ''The Fragile '' is an out-of-focus snapshot of the inside of a conch shell, for example). To start capturing some of find my own for TFAway of adapting his approach, I experimented began experimenting with a macro lens for the first time. Macro lenses are commonplace now, but back then they were niche, and later bought one technically-oriented, very expensive pro photo equipment (just look how big the macro lens is on the 16mm camera in that photo). Having my own pro macro lens to make imagery experiment withartistically opened up new portals of expression all around me; emotions from the inanimate, stories from mundane details. It sounds like basic art school shit now because you can get a Having my own pro macro lens to experiment with artistically opened up new portals of expression all around me; emotions from the inanimate, stories from mundane details. Exploring details of instruments and the texture of the studio environment would lay the groundwork for your phone my photography on Nine Inch Nails' ''[[Ghosts I-IV]]'' in 2008. And seeing the natural world abstracted in macro on ''Things Falling Apart'' would carry all the way through to my recent visuals for like $30Pearl Jam's Dark Matter tour. For ''Things Falling Apart'', however, but it the voice I was very expensive niche equipment back thenfinding in macro photography wasn't quite right. Through that lensI was learning the right lessons, but using the wrong tool. My macro photographs felt too purposeful and taking what cinematic, speaking a slightly different language than the aesthetics of ''The Fragile''. Ultimately, Iaccidentally found the right artistic note for ''d learned from Carson, Things Falling Apart'' when I started tried to see art and texture capture some unique flowers in everything I looked atthe light of dusk with my day-to-day consumer pocket digital camera, whose tiny lens couldn't quite hit the macro focus. It was a perfectly accidental Carson solution. Needing new imagery  Designing ''Things Falling Apart'' was a big early milestone for me as an professional and a project and just looking around wherever fan, but I am can’t overstate how much the experience helped shaped me as an artist, and finding tiny details in how much of it has never steered I still carry with me wrong ever sincetoday."</blockquote>
