“Legos” By Abby T

Abby's been abducted, made into something ethereal, and returned back to Earth.

When Abby and I first met to talk about making this video she brought up Afrofuturism as a thematic reference for the song. I always saw this video as being some sort of sci-fi so I immediately latched on to this. I went into a deep internet dive to learn more about the history of Afrofuturism and its ideas, and fashion. I stumbled on this small excerpt from the writings of Valorie Thomas where she wrote: “the apocalypse had already happened. The aliens came.” I got the idea that Abby had been abducted, transformed into something ethereal and sent back to Earth.
