The mesmerizing visual aesthetic of the clip "Crushing" by Eartheater

The late 90s vibe of the clip "Crushing" by Eartheater, directed by Andrew Thomas Huang, is reminiscent of cosmetics and fragrance commercials from that era. The music video features decadent mirrored rooms and performance vignettes. The camera work is dynamic : moving constantly, it never reveals a full portrait of the artist until late in the piece, adding a sense of mystery and excitement throughout. Eartheater's clothes, blending futuristic elements with organic designs, accentuate the ethereal, surreal and otherworldy atmosphere of her video.

One of the standing out elements is the symbolism behind Eartheater's interactions with glassware. The latter represents both fragility and transformation. By forming, drinking from and even shattering the glass with her voice, Eartheater explores the themes of vulnerability, consumption and the breaking of barriers.

The lyrics of the song evoke the opposite ideas of destruction and creation, with lines like "You're the flame melting sand into glass" and "You're the glass holding the wine." The glass symbolizes the process of change and the dualism of beauty and destruction.

When Eartheater shatters the glass with her voice, she shows how something beautiful (like glass or a powerful vocal performance) can lead to destruction. The beauty of art and life is associated with the construction of glass, meant to be fragile and breakable. This powerful visual metaphor highlights the ephemeral nature of beauty. Surprisingly, the artist rather sees destruction as a renewal than a downfall because its cathartic power enables new forms of beauty to emerge and transformation to happen.

The way Eartheater uses her voice to break the glass epitomizes both the breaking of barriers and the creation of beauty from destruction. This impressive display of her vocal range and artistic vision leaves a lasting impact long after the song ends.

Here is Eartheater's Crushing BTS Instagram post, giving fans a glimpse into the creative process and the artistry that went into the production of the clip. By sharing it, the artist provides transparency and allows them to appreciate her hard work, creating a deeper connection with her audience.
