Films

I make films that linger. They explore identity, distance, and the moments we don’t always talk about. Each one is built with care, shaped by emotion, and designed to hold its meaning over time.

Photography

Physical Artwork.

Each piece is printed as a Giclée fine art print, using archival pigments on museum-grade paper. This method preserves tonal depth and cinematic detail, ensuring every image delivers the same emotional precision on paper as it does on screen.
