For me, Lucy is about the joy of self-discovery and the journey towards self-love. It celebrates the freedom that comes from letting go of others’ expectations, society’s conventions, and media’s messaging, acknowledging that finding and loving one’s true self is difficult in a world that thrives off of the misery of the people. Especially for queer BIPOC people, the simple act of dancing freely and happily is a courageous expression of individuality, confidence, and radical self-love.
