=About work=
As humans, we speak and write to connect with each other every day ― yet words, with all their weight and imagery, often stray from our intentions, or fall short of reaching the heart.
This film is a quiet reflection on communication, inspired by the unspoken understandings I've encountered in the world of theater.
In moments where words fail, I seek to gently face the emotions we miss, the thoughts left unsaid ― and to rediscover a form of exchange that holds the warmth of being human.

Artistic Statement
Since 2025, I have been creating installations that visualize and spatialize the possibilities and inherent violence of language, inspired by my experience in theater. My works explore alternative forms of communication by deconstructing written text and reactivating sensory perception through breath, expression, and imagination.
