My audiovisual practice reflects on life in an overstimulated world.
I create slow, quiet moments that offer pauses in time, to invite deeper reflections on how we perceive and experience our environments and process information. In a world that pushes for constant speed, productivity and attention, exploring what it is to slow down feels to me like a poetic act of resistance.
I often draw inspiration from research on environmental psychology, landscape theory, and mental health to explore how our attention and nervous systems are shaped by the constant flow of daily stimuli and our fading connection to nature.
With a background in film directing, I’m very much influenced by the cinematic experience where viewers sit in a dark room and time feels suspended and controlled. This feeling of immersion and time-awareness shapes how I create work to both calm and unsettle, inviting people not just to look or listen, but to notice themselves: how they wait, how they crave, how they connect.
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.
