Following the releasing of her highly anticipated, EP Shadows On The Ceiling, Vancouver based electro-pop artist Serena Sun unveils the powerful video for the collection’s lead single “Body.” Diving into her journey of trauma and healing, the video is stunning visual of the highs and lows of Serena’s process of reclaiming what she lost through her experience with sexual assault.
“When I sat down with my incredible Director and DOP, Tamara Black and Cathy Ye, we talked about how we could intentionally and honestly depict my experience of healing after being sexually assaulted by a friend in university. After tons of different iterations of how to best tell my story, we landed on visually capturing the different stages I went through after the assault,” Serena shares.
“The music video opens with me lying on a couch in a cold, moon-lit room where “pieces of the party” are strewn on the floor. I am in a daze, and in a state of suppression while I’m trying to recall what had happened. The narrative continues with scenes of anger, and eventually leads to healing and triumph, where I’m surrounded by friends and helping others who seem to be in similar daze-like states.”
