In the video the Polish model makes her way down a runway stripping bare before being embraced by the singer. All this culminating in a symbolic crescendo. How did such a provocative and vulnerable concept take shape? The answer is mutually, says Rubik, \u201cWe are both very creative women so it was great to connect about all our different projects. Mary spoke to me about her music, how she creates, her sound and I spoke about my different projects like 25. We decided our energies worked well together and that we should do something.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ctWZFp6b1gQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>With her plate constantly full, Anja Rubik isn\u2019t one to jump into a creative project she isn\u2019t invested, and judging by video, her own experiences served as the visual thrust and a jumping off place to bring to form Komasa\u2019s sound. \u201cMary&#8217;s brother, Jan Komasa is a very well known movie director, so we all got together to come up with the concept.\u201d Its commentary is charged and layered, especially the final the allusion to an explosion. \u201cIt&#8217;s about the feeling of being trapped (in your own state of mind, relationship, career or surroundings), desperate to find a way to break through. It\u2019s about finding the inner courage to blow up the system, which is very often something that we build up in our own head. You have to discover your own existence, place on earth, identity. It&#8217;s about a liberation from the fear of judgement,\u201d says Rubik. To explore that place is touch-and-go, fraught with possibilities for misunderstanding, so everyone needed to be on the same wavelength, \u201cWe actually took it further than we originally thought it would go because it felt organic and right. I have such a strong bond with Mary so it was a really powerful moment and a beautiful experience that I will always remember.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2016\/05\/DanceForevr.gif\" alt=\"DanceForevr\" width=\"700\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-84837\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Though, from the beginning, the concept was deeply personal to both Anja and Mary, Anja believes its message can resound beyond those familiar with the fashion industry and their own struggles, \u201cI think every person can relate to the message of the video. Sometimes there are moments in our life&#8230;in a job, a relationship, a certain point that we have this feeling and are in need of major change and in order to do that we must find the courage to take a risk, lose that fear of being judged and enter the unknown.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><!--pp-thumb-start--><!--PictPress found no dir \/2016\/05\/84815--><!--pp-thumb-end--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The enterprising model stars in Polish singer Mary Komasa&#8217;s latest music video <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":443,"featured_media":84840,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,2],"tags":[10415,387],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84815"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/443"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=84815"}],"version-history":[{"count":31,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84815\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":84851,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84815\/revisions\/84851"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/84840"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=84815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=84815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
