The digital video following the track contains very rare pictures from Whitney Houston's archive. The 17-year-old digital artist made it by the name Diana Sinclair. Diana is a photo-artist that has made beautiful collections of celebrities and normal people.
According to Diana in a video on Houston's collection landing page, collaborating with Whitney's family and music transformed her perception of the artist. "Working with her voice on something like this really tied me to that time and her in a way that I wouldn't have had before. I feel more connected to the person that she was. Some of the messages that I put across in my artwork as well, they're very similar," she said.
Houston's collection also included other items – like animated videos of her early life and private photos in her archive. In total, this auction pulled approximately 1.1 million dollars in sales. According to her family and the auction house, the proceeds from the auction would go to the Houston foundation accounts.
