What’s your background?

I studied drawing, painting, and textiles before moving into media arts and moving images, but I have been deeply drawn to cinema since childhood.

What influences you artistically?

Painting, literature, and cinema. Everything I see, hear, or read—whether an article, an episode of a series, or a conversation—becomes something I reflect on, casting it in my mind as a potential theme or source of inspiration. I feel like I’m in a constant creative process, which I deeply enjoy. I am particularly interested in examining the politics of memory, power structures, and the role of archives in shaping historical narratives.

How do you start a new work?

Sometimes I have a clear idea of what the work will look like from the beginning. Most of the time, my process starts with research—whether driven by a particular theme, a book I’ve read, or a story that catches my attention. From there, I begin gathering information, verifying sources, and searching for visual references. I use the moving image as an artistic research practice to bring to light unspoken, overlooked, and overshadowed narratives.

What are you working on right now?

I am currently working on a medium-length filmic investigation that critically examines the photographic gaze during the Second World War while simultaneously contextualizing it within the rising right-wing political discourse of our time.
