The story the video tells is one of marginal identity — the disorienting experience of existing between worlds, of asking yourself whether you're deaf enough, queer enough, connected enough. It's raw by necessity. An earlier underwater concept didn't come together, and with under two weeks until release, the team stripped everything back. What remained was pure: no set, no costume, no distance between the performer and the story. Alter Boy's message is clear — those disconnected from community or culture should never be erased or debated.
