The visualiser for Jeshi’s Saint or Sinner, shot by Blackwall, offers a striking blend of performance and abstraction. As the first piece in a triptych of visualisers, it seamlessly continues the thematic exploration of duality, entrapment and infinite loops, combining stark aesthetics with layered metaphor. Set against an undefined, almost surreal location, the visual features Jeshi and guest artist Sainte locked in a rhythmic task: loading a cement mixer. This mundane action, elevated by the setting’s abstraction, becomes a symbol of construction and destruction, reflecting the track’s exploration of moral ambiguity. The cement mixer churns continuously, a hypnotic centerpiece representing the cyclical nature of decision-making—whether saint or sinner, the grind never stops. Blackwall’s direction captures the artists’ movements with a focus on gritty textures and muted tones, creating a raw yet dreamlike atmosphere. Jeshi’s delivery feels introspective yet urgent, while Sainte’s complementary performance adds layers of tension. Together, they embody the track’s thematic question: are we defined by our actions, or by the intentions that fuel them? As part of a larger series, this visualiser not only holds its own but builds on a larger narrative—one that challenges viewers to look beyond the surface.
