“Let Me - Abigail Arader” by Rhea Li
A reimagined take on Orpheus and Eurydice’s tale of loss and selfishness.
From The Director
“This music video for Let Me is a love child between the artist Abigail Arader and I. We share experiences of watching loved ones hurting themselves and losing them to their own destructive desires time after time.
That particular mix of grief, guilt and anger that come with ultimately not being able to save the person you love from themselves is to me the core of Let Me, hence the reimagined take on Orpheus and Eurydice’s tale. Here's to us all who--despite all the naive optimism--had to learn to let go.”
