"The video concept for “Care” plays with and expands upon the Romanticism album art inspired by the Artemisia Gentileschi paintings “Judith Beheading Holofernes” and “Judith, Her Maid and Holofernes Head.” Like the album art, Hana plays a decapitated head, but, unlike the paintings, set in modern day.
The video follows the story of Hana's murder, moving backward in time from the moment the cops discover her discarded head to the moment right before her death. We always stay focused on Hana as she performs, never seeing the killer beyond glimpses of his hands or body. This video isn’t about him, but about the meaning of care. Did he care so much to murder her or did he never care for her at all?"
