Director Statement

Arcana holds a special place in my creative journey, as it was crafted before the pandemic struck. Since then, I've delved into the digital realm, creating thousands of internet content pieces – a fact that's no exaggeration. Undoubtedly, I've evolved creatively, becoming a different person in the process. However, Arcana carries a nostalgic charm, reminding me of a purer form of artistic expression that I sometimes miss.

This piece holds a more profound artistic essence compared to my current work, and my love for art remains unwavering. I hope Arcana finds a welcoming home at delightful festivals, where its unique essence can be appreciated by enthusiastic audiences.

If the opportunity arises, I'd love to venture into creating a feature film that captures the spirit of Arcana while infusing it with my newfound sensibilities. The journey continues, and I'm excited to see where it leads.
