SYNOPSIS

Video is a part of White Performances / Positive Affirmations, a series calling out the deceptiveness of the ostensible happiness and illusions about a perfect life. The image of the video is clean, with the white color scheme emphasizing immaculateness. We see a woman eating and chanting a mantra, which is a parody of new age lifestyle which promotes the power of suggestive thoughts. Music is light and carefree.
