Sarah Fimm YellowWatch at the source

"Yellow" is the first single from Sarah Fimm's album, Near Infinite Possibility. The song and video were inspired by Charlotte Perkins Gilman's groundbreaking, feminist short story, "The Yellow Wallpaper," a dark collection of journal entries written by a woman whose husband has put her on "rest cure." The story depicts the effect of confinement on the narrator's mental health, and her descent into psychosis, paranoia, delusion and desperate fear, as the disparity between reality and the events of her mind crumble. Directed by Erik Montovano, mastermind behind the groundbreaking New York City-based graphic design and production team, Newspeak, the cinematography was inspired by silent film, contemporary art, and design; psychologically, it draws upon the writings of Nietzsche, Carl Jung, Jean Paul Sartre, and Hunter S. Thompson. The goal was to create a constantly shifting palette of reality to obscure the difference between dreams and waking life, between the conscious and unconscious mind.
