As a pilgrim, I find inspiration in stories, films, photographs, and friendships cultivated during my travels. My artistic vision has been guided by the artist Isabelle Cedotti, whom I have the privilege of accompanying. My primary teachers of the image include Tarkovsky, Tarr, Fellini, Mario Peixoto, Dreyer, and Kurosawa. My films are born from a way of living, and I search for no specific theme. Instead, I follow my gut instincts.
After completing a Master in Political Ecology from the University of São Paulo, I pursued my doctorate in Environment and Society at the State University of Campinas. My undergraduate studies included International Relations and Economics. As a researcher, my areas of interest include political ecology, environmental sociology, spiritual ecologies, and the radical critique of industrialisation.
I worked with the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean in the Division of Social Development, specifically in the area of Latin American youth. I am also co-founder of the Thinking With Ivan Illich project and the periodical Conspiratio.
