Visuals for Tricky ‘s Hey Love will make your skin crawl and eyes widen as the clip intricately fixates on model Nella Ngingo ‘s gorgeous attributes and some slithery aquatic creatures as well. Who knew snails could be so beautiful?

Dutch director Hugo Goudswaard submitted the video through a competition hosted by filmmaker website Genero . Read what he had to say below:

“The song ‘Hey Love’ stimulated my mind and gave me inspiration to build a surreal trip into the darkness. I visualised a woman on a bench in a park undergoing different stages within a relationship. A snail being her counterpart. At the same time it is also a tribute to the dark skin. But people have to decide for themselves how to interpret this video, I just gave them the pieces to build their own story.”
