ABOUT

My work exists at the intersection of film, visual art, and creative direction, investigating how technology, media, and power structures shape perception and reality, and in turn, influence behavior, dictating collective identity.

Through a transdisciplinary and collaborative practice, I use storytelling as tool for critical inquiry and cultural disruption.

My aim is to challenge dominant narratives, integrate the ill body into society, and carve space for unheard voices.
