I specialize in art film and observational films, primarily exploring themes related to aesthetics and human nature, as well as subjects that intersect with culture, anthropology, and philosophy.
My body of work encompasses a wide range of themes and styles, including commercial advertising, art films, essay films, and observational documentaries. I endeavor to emphasize the interplay of visuals and sound through cinematic experiments, utilizing unique visual effects, sound design, symbols, and symbolism to create emotional resonance. I delve into universal themes such as time, perception, generational shifts, and sorrow. My commitment is to convey profound contemplation and emotional experiences through visual media, inspiring viewers to engage in deeper reflections on life and the experience.
In 2023, I graduated from the Edinburgh College of Art, where over the past year, I focused on developing my visual style under the guidance of Emma Davie and Ling Lee. I have dedicated myself to pushing the boundaries of my artistic expression.
