Her

Music: "Solo" by BDASH
The imagery contrasts the dynamism of the dancer with the fakeness of stock video, turned stark and flat. The dancer shows the power of the human body to create anything, a rejection of who “Her” is supposed to be despite the relentless assault of consumer culture where desire and sense of self is implanted according to what can be manufactured cheaply and easily.
