Location of Artwork Shoot:
The choice of an indoor shooting location was a strategic decision, enhancing our ability to control the atmosphere and craft a visual impact that appropriately reflects the emotions. The décor focused on highlighting the beauty of the desolate and cold forest, using artistic elements from Yemen to emphasize our cultural identity, particularly as the song is sung in the Yemeni San'ani dialect.
