I am a passionated artist, filmmaker and production designer with the belief that art and storytelling has a transformative power and a cultural importance.
My work centers on creating tactile, immersive stories that offer space for introspection and imagination. I question our collective values and perceptions as well as my own. Whether through the frames of stop-motion animation or the intentional design of physical environments, I strive to craft experiences that prioritize humanity, creativity, and connection.
In 2020 I graduated at the film academy in Amsterdam with the project "Why didn’t you stay for me" ( Milou Gevers, 2020) that won the student Academy Awards gold medal for best international short documentary.
Currently I am researching at the Master of Film program in Amsterdam.
Working across stop-motion animation, sculpture, painting, and photography, my practice is built on a particular kind of attention: listening with eyes, ears, hands, and everything the body offers. The camera and the recorder are tools through which I perceive the stories, characters, and patterns that are already present in bodies and in the world. It is a practice dedicated to full presence.
I am here to build paths for a filmmaking that does not exploit the body.
Because we need art.
That’s it.
