Director Statement

My work moves between experimental cinema, video art and analogue photography. I am interested in fragile forms of perception: slowness, contemplation and the subtle links between inner experience and the natural world. I approach images as spaces for listening rather than representation, allowing time, sound and texture to shape meaning. Through minimal gestures and sensorial atmospheres, my practice seeks to create elegiac encounters—small acts of attention in a world that increasingly resists stillness.
