Director Statement

As a director, I’m drawn to everyday stories—moments we might encounter in daily life. It’s important for me to portray women’s experiences in relationships through the lens of my own understanding of female gender socialization. In my work, gestures, restrained emotions, and unspoken tensions take center stage, revealing the weight of societal expectations and personal desires. My goal is to create a space where vulnerability and strength coexist, reflecting the universal yet deeply personal complexities of my characters’ experiences.
