My audiovisual practice reflects on how we perceive and inhabit our environments. I create slow, quiet moments that act as pauses in time, opening up spaces for reflection on how reality is constructed, mediated, and experienced.
Through stillness, repetition and duration, I explore boundaries between inside and outside, nature and the built environment, presence and illusion.
With a background in film directing, I am strongly influenced by the cinematic experience: the darkened room, the fixed frame, and a sense of suspended time. Exploring what it is to slow down, in a world that pushes for constant speed, productivity and attention, feels to me like a poetic act of resistance.
This sensibility shapes how I construct installations and videos that oscillate between calm and subtle tension, inviting viewers not only to look or listen, but to become aware of their own presence: how they wait, how they observe, how they relate to the space.
Alongside this, my documentary practice is based on poetical observations that are rooted in sensorial experience of environments. Working with real-time observation, my films emphasize tactility and presence over explanation, using landscape, movement and everyday gestures to carry meaning. Experiences of migration, belonging, friendship and time are allowed to unfold gradually, through slowness, repetition, and metaphor.
