“The Laundress” is about a relationship in transition. Song and image come together to examine the roles we fall into when we are in a couple, how those roles obscure our sense of self, and the things that go unsaid between us. The video explores this through the real-life transition of Brooklyn-based trans rapper Uncle Meg, and his fiancé Clara, allowing the audience to connect to the song’s universal themes of change, partnership, and identity. Using split-screens and double exposures, the video straddles multiple spaces simultaneously, giving the viewer an intimate window into the couple’s struggle.
