Description

An experimental film exploring Black Death. While the project was made with ambiguous intentions, its origins begin with the conversation of gender. Copper is an intimate goodbye to the artist’s Black femininity. Each stage of grief takes time in the film to depart from a Black feminine body and transition into a gender non-conforming body, and later to the body of a young sensitive black boi.
