HipHopDX Premiere: Denver born, New York City transplant Deca has unveiled the remarkable stop-motion video for the track “Waiting,” which is from the rapper/producer/visual artist’s forthcoming album, Forest Agates.
Serving as the follow-up to his popular stop-motion videos from his last album, The Ocean, “Waiting” finds Deca diving into the art form himself with his new video, which he animated using flower petals and an iPhone.
As explained in a press release, with delicate and intricate maneuvering of the petals, Deca created blossoming mandalas and “archetypal figures that shape shift and change face,” visually illustrating the complexity of the human experience, and the love and energy required to reverse the disorder in our constant striving toward a divine ideal.
Though the kaleidoscopic patterns can be both beautiful and disturbing, Deca hand-delivers the imagery to accompany the evocative, lyrical introspection he’s known for, which in this song, delves into the chaos of our modern age and “seeks to re-emerge out of the forest on a new path toward enlightenment.”
