Blondshell, T&A Hannah Bon
Hannah Bon was born in Japan and raised in Holland, the UK and Brazil and is currently based in Los Angeles. Her cinematic work is inspired by her Japanese heritage, bold colour, fashion, and surrealism and leans into an unconventional, strange, and sensorial world.
“Men are like dogs. The dogs with the loudest bark are the ones that are the most afraid”. A man might seem like a brute on the outside but his vulnerability might be deep beneath the surface. Even though there is hurt behind the track, they’re not to be seen as dirtbags. The dogs are there as metaphorical mirrors to empathize with them as well as with Sabrina. When I started thinking about how to approach T&A, I knew I wanted it to feel this fleeting moment and not be something strictly narrative — more like a memory Sabrina was having paired with vulnerable portraits of the men. There’s something so raw and candid about the song and lyrics mixed with an underlying sensitivity in the vocals. Sabrina had a commanding, statuesque presence on camera that completely captivated me. The atmosphere on set was unexpectedly intimate, with the talent giving their all, and the day coming together so smoothly.
