The accompanying song borrows elements from The Matrix theme song and melds them with beats inspired by Teardrop by Massive Attack (1998). The French lyrics offer a description of the Telfar bag’s features, translated from Telfar’s official website. The artwork probes the complex nature of identity, with cues taken from The Matrix interpreted as a declaration for trans rights. The bag, a creation of Liberian-American designer Telfar, stands as a symbol of inclusivity and a challenge to conventional fashion normativity. The choice of portrait orientation prompts reflection on whether items like the Telfar bag, as codes, could take on identities or personas.
