Selected Moving Image
Short Films & Video Works / 2026–Present
Short films and moving-image works exploring memory,
perception, architecture, constructed environments,
and the unstable boundary between reality and fiction.
My practice examines how perception shapes reality, and how meaning shifts across memory, time, distance, and our relation to others.
Rather than treating landscapes, bodies, and objects as stable subjects, I use displacement, absence, repetition, and altered composition to give visual form to states and concepts that resist straightforward language.
I work across generative AI, image editing, moving image, and other visual processes, choosing each medium according to the conceptual demands of the individual work rather than treating technique itself as the destination.
