The video, which premiered on The Creator's Project, feels like a full-body experience, an improvisational swim through an endless stream of senses. Martin, who is known for her ability to turn black and white lines into wild and otherworldly jungles, allows her various contours and shapes to guide the way, illuminating an infinite profusion of faces, creatures and images that defy categorization.
Martin started off by creating freestyle drawings to accompany King's solo guitar. "Music really helps give my lines and words life, it brings a natural spring to them," she explained to The Creator's Project. "Listening and creating live to Kaki's piece was almost like meditating: becoming lost in the song; so full and present." Inspired by Martin's images, King then went back and added percussion, horns, finger snapping, and organs to create the final track, yielding a multilayered weaving of sounds and shapes.
