I am a London-based visual artist and filmmaker working between documentary, experimental cinema, and research-led practice. My work explores how personal and shared histories surface in urban and domestic spaces. I approach events as existing in an aesthetic realm, using filmmaking, the screen, and other media not only as vessels of transmission but as tools for questioning violence, intergenerational trauma, and the politics of space. Through investigative reconstructions, mixed documentary strategies, and multimedia layering, I attempt to expand what visual media can do.
I studied Social Anthropology (BSc) and City Design (MSc) at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and hold an MA in Performance: Screen from Central Saint Martins (UAL). This academic grounding shapes my approach to film and visual research, allowing me to move fluidly between ethnographic observation, theory, and practice - without ever fully leaving one behind.
