As a filmmaker and video artist, my work is constructed around existential discussions on psychology and human folly. A strong sense of aesthetic stylization frames my ideas. I create symbolic puzzles. My desire is to disrupt viewer expectations of genre or structure. Playful undertones of absurdism within my work reveals my love for lateral thinking and a strength of imagination. My narrative film work tends towards character-based journeys. Fascinated by moral ambiguity and heightened-realism, my practice usually delves into these realms – creating worlds that symbolically externalize the inner-psychology of character.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
