“Under Armour” analyzes how Black underground artists depict wealth in their music videos, examining how performances of financial power emerge in response to structural exclusion. The video and sound piece deliberately use ambiguous footage that oscillates between pose and reality, accompanied by a melancholic loop.
In this way, the work addresses the pressure to be visible and the ambivalence of self-assertion as a strategy against historically rooted devaluation.
