Carnation

The title Carnation is a symbol of many elements in the film; Carnation is a white flower that embodies purity, innocence and untainted love. It’s usually associated with funerals and it’s called the flower of the Gods.

I have to say, this film is inspired by someone that I knew, it's about the untainted love for family and how that can shape a person thoroughly into becoming their future selves.

“When darkness breeds on innocent souls, it grows and blossoms within.”

All families have troubles rooted somewhere but it makes all the difference if you spotted the problems and asked for help. In some cases, it may never happen and this is when you’re left with a shattered family, unforeseeable future or incurable mental disorder that feeds on your soul. And this is exactly why I made this film, to shed light on the consequences of Domestic abuse.

I remember reading a sentence by Nietzsche saying “When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks into you” that sentence spoke to me, while I was in the pre-production phase.

Conveying as much as possible the dark side of human nature, that we don’t wanna believe it exists. It's about the consequences of human beings actions, a devastating glimpse of the unknown. A short journey where I am taking the audience inside the story with its endless possibilities and scenarios. As the movie is meant to evoke feelings whether it is aggressive emotions or ones of empathy and uncertainty, it's the realness of human nature that I am after with all its possibilities.
