The video explores the work of Brooklyn artist Adrian Brandon, who creates 'stolen portraits' of black lives lost in encounters with police. Each portrait is incomplete, symbolizing the unfulfilled potential of the individuals. Brandon uses a timer to represent the age of the person, adding a layer of emotional depth to his work.
