Amanda Gorman

We created a short film featuring Amanda Gorman, the youngest Inaugural poet in U.S. history, reciting her powerful poem for TIME Magazine's cover following her Inauguration performance. Working with conceptual artist Awol Erizku, we sought to capture this historic moment in an artful way, creating a "timeless" portrait that places her in a "cosmic atmosphere" beyond the political moment. This widely celebrated film and cover was part of TIME's special project "THE RENAISSANCE IS BLACK," created in partnership with Ibram X. Kendi to celebrate the power of Black art.
