“Done” is far more than a song or a music video. It is a carefully constructed work of art that brings together music, visual storytelling, and symbolism to explore emotional liberation, self-respect, and the courage it takes to walk away from what no longer serves us.
Created by Colombian artists Grace de Gier and Edgar Grimaldos, who are currently based and working in Europe, Done stands as a strong example of how cultural roots and international collaboration can reinforce an artistic vision. Their shared background and transatlantic journey add depth and authenticity to the project, reflected in the positive reception and strong reviews surrounding the release.
The Song: Choosing Yourself as an Act of Power
At its core, Done is a song about breaking free from a toxic relationship and reclaiming personal strength. It captures the precise moment when staying hurts more than leaving, and choosing yourself becomes not an act of selfishness, but of survival and clarity.
Rather than focusing on confrontation or resentment, the song speaks about closure, dignity, and emotional honesty. It reaches the point where explanations are no longer needed, where silence carries more weight than words, and where moving forward without looking back feels like relief rather than loss.
Musically, Done balances vulnerability and determination. The production leaves space for the message to breathe, allowing the listener to fully experience the emotional shift the song represents.
The Video Concept: Emotional Loops and Invisible Chains
The music video expands this narrative into a symbolic and introspective visual universe. It represents the invisible emotional ties that keep people trapped in toxic situations long after the relationship itself has ended.
These ties appear as ghost-like, hooded monk figures portrayed by Benoît, a professional French actor, and Valentina. The monks do not represent villains or external threats, but internal forces such as memory, attachment, fear, and repetitive emotional patterns.
The video evokes the sensation of being stuck in a loop, similar to watching an old television channel that cannot be changed. Old screens, recurring images, familiar spaces, and repeated scenes reflect how the past can replay endlessly in our minds, keeping us emotionally encapsulated.
Direction and Cinematic Language
The visual strength of Done is driven by the work of Babix Visual, responsible for both the direction and cinematography of the video. The camera language is restrained yet expressive, carefully constructed to reinforce the themes of repetition, emotional confinement, and eventual release.
Rather than explaining or intruding, the camera observes. It allows space for silence, stillness, and introspection, inviting the viewer to emotionally inhabit the story rather than simply watch it.
The Role of the Musicians
Grace de Gier and Edgar Grimaldos appear within this atmosphere not only as musicians, but as the emotional core of the work. As protagonists of both the song and the video, they embody awareness and presence, reminding the viewer that clarity is possible even within emotional confinement.
Music becomes the moment of realization. Done marks the turning point when emotional chains loosen, repetition breaks, and freedom begins.
A Strong Visual Identity: Photography as Narrative
A key element in establishing Done as a cohesive artistic statement is its striking visual and photographic identity. Throughout the video and its launch materials, the artists appear subtly camouflaged within their environments, reinforcing themes of visibility, disappearance, and emotional concealment.
This visual language was shaped by Jean Jacques Luc, a professional French photographer whose work plays a central role in defining the project’s aesthetic. His photography does not merely document the project; it extends its narrative, adding depth and cinematic texture to the overall concept.
International Collaboration as Artistic Strength
The collaboration between Colombian artists working in Europe and French professionals in acting, photography, and direction gives Done a distinctly international dimension. This cross-cultural exchange enriches the project and reflects the reality of contemporary independent art: fluid, borderless, and emotionally universal.
An Ending Without Noise
Done does not seek validation or closure through explanation. It simply states a truth: sometimes the bravest act is to stop engaging with what hurts.
As a complete work, song, video, performance, direction, and visual concept—Done stands as a testament to emotional clarity and artistic integrity.
And when that moment arrives, there is nothing left to say.
