Lovely shots in this video for singer-songwriter Halima’s track “If Love Was Green” by New York City-based director Nina Gofur.
“The concept behind the video is mimicking the stages of turning into a butterfly. You start out bare, in a cocoon and slowly grow into this very beautiful and elusive creature. That is how I see Halima, and other womxn as well. Carrying on our shoulders the power passed down by the generations of womxn before us. In this video, Halima’s Great Great Grandmother’s hands move her into a realm of self discovery and empowerment.”
