Artist's statement

My work often begins with a room, a light or a backward glance. I am drawn to women's lives within history, family and love, and to the ways people hold on to dignity after loss. Through a face, a space or a stretch of silence, cinema allows me to express experiences that are difficult to put into words.

Classical aesthetics, opera and the visual world of old Europe help me convey grandeur, vulnerability and human complexity. Writing clarifies what my characters feel and do. Visual development creates the spaces they inhabit, while music, sound and editing shape how audiences experience their stories. I keep refining the relationship between character, image and rhythm throughout the process.

AI expands what an independent filmmaker can create. Working with generated images, movement, sound and music still calls for decisions about composition, rhythm and editing. When a film ends, I want viewers to remember its characters, their names and the feelings that stay with them.
