Eri Yamamoto, a Japanese jazz artist, explores freedom in New York City as a disguised woman, all the way till the moment she faces her unmasked-self, playing the piano.
Eri Yamamoto created the song A WOMAN WITH A PURPLE WIG during the pandemic when Asian hate sharply increased in New York City, and she was filled with fear to go outside. In this video, we follow her exploration of life as a disguised person, all the way till the moment she faces her unmasked self, in an expression of true freedom, playing the piano.
