She makes art for herself and we just get to watch it. It is a true honor.

Homunculus is a name given to a hibrid of a human and a beast. Something less then human. Sevda's characther is pregnant and experimented on. I think this video shows the way we misstreat women, how femininity is considered to be something animalistic. Misoginy is so deeply engrained in our society and this video is trying to represent the struggles of women and other people who identify on the feminine spectre. The scene with the pit is similar to the Garden of Eden, she is traped in a paradise for men's view, and this is why there are two hands holding her breast. The praying mantis symbolizes the way we view strong women as femme fatales, a danger to the patriarchal ideal of womanhood . While trying to protect her child she defies the archaic view of the woman being just a child bearer, submissive and quiet. She fights the system, she fights for the rights of her and her baby, even though other women try to bring her down(the two women who try experimenting on her), even though the men hunt her. She tries to dance in order to free herself from the chains that hold her down. And in the end she is boiling with emotion and the only being symphatizing with her is an android, something considered less than human(but in the end proven to be more humane in comparison to the repulsive and insensitive behavior of mankind)


~This is my interpretation of the video and you are free to have different opinion than mine. Also, i'm sorry if i have some grammar mistakes, English is not my first language

[cirehn]

i promised myself that this time i would try to be intelligent, i came here ready to theorize the symbolism but forget about it I'm screaming like a goat

[carl-nqwv]

u can tell that she has a BUDGET in her mvs. ugh! hope one day, grammys will recognize her works.

[gabryel]

She's the personification of art, she's a goddess, everything she does is a masterpiece

[Noail]

I love how she's celebrate her pregnancy through the videos. Welcome back and congrats Sev

[eliniatollea]

The robot was the only one that cried for Sevda's character.

[RicardoMoralesMassin]

This is probably her best video ever. Next level production.

[edwardpiaggi]

Do you ever think about how she is doing these masterpieces and we just get to casually watch them for free? I love her so much

[XxQueenChristinaxX]

At some point I felt like I should be in a theater watching this on the big screen.
Sevdaliza has such a cinematic touch in her videos and I'm excited for what's to come after this.

[AM-ejjb]

I consider Sevdaliza a being beyond our perception. She's more than a singer, more than an actress, more than a masterpiece. She's the personification of the Goddess

[manas]

If Sevdaliza was getting even an ounce of respect and recognition she deserved, the world would have attained eternal peace...

[raziavagrande]

I wish I knew how she was able to afford to make such exquisite pieces of art each and every release without having the industry back her financially-The quality is insane and her ideas in music and film direction/concept in tandem with her creative team is top-tier!!! Her art is very much timeless!!! ❤️

[alexandruadam]

the way you explore posthuman themes is groundbreaking. truly excited to see what you and Dahlia are preparing.

[MissSaiko]

I'm an architect and a singer into experimental music... Seriously, this is a blessing to watch and listen.

[ahyestv]

Sevdaliza, everything about your creative soul, forever is an inspiration.

[alohomoratarot]

As an artist, a lot of the scenes reminded me of what I experience on a daily basis- me trying to create a safe space for my creative ideas, but having so many people around me, all trying to impose on my process and make me into something I’m not. In the end, I literally break down, and the only one who seems to have an emotional connection to me is the thing that I’m trying to escape from.
I’m sure that’s not what Sev is doing here (because she’s usually on a completely different artistic level than me😅), but that’s the energy I’m feeling for it.

[rm]

This blew my mind! I‘m speechless. This woman is art herself and we are honored to watch her creating magic

[Aanssuansu]

Soy muy afortunada de vivir en la misma época de SEVDALIZA!!
Increíble, maravilloso trabajo

[MsAdrian]

It's really interesting how sevdaliza evolves in something that everybody's not prepared to understand. And I'm here to watch the madness 🔥💕🍭
