From her latest album Blackheart, Dawn Richard activates the visual for “Projection,” a delicate, black and white clip showing Dawn in her natural beauty.
The caption with the clip explains: “In ‘Projection,’ Dawn sings make up free and bare of all materialistic matter, except her lyrics and water in this powerful, yet simple visual. In this short film, Dawn wanted to celebrate the beauty and sexuality of a woman. With media constantly falsifying the example of what the standard of beauty should be, Directer Monty Marsh and Richard set out to make a visual that would project beauty at its most erotic and authentic state. It's time the industry embraces beauty in all forms.”
