I am a Creative Director and Artist-Filmmaker based in London. My work explores the playful and enigmatic dimensions of existence, inspired by phenomenology and post-humanism.
Through films and performances, I craft intersections between body and mythology, creating surreal spectacles that initiate intimate dialogues on the complexities of gender and identity. My work invites audiences into a contemplative space where the boundaries between reality and the myth dissolve, uncovering the profound interconnectedness of our subconscious and experience.

The soft laziness of the trailing ground comes to an end, either one has sprinted free in that hopeful year of chariot fire or is the candle melting below it.
It is war, the city’s sirens are loud, I am trapped by an echo that beckons with a grating voice. My character undoes one by one, as I feel my soul clinging just by a string in the stretches of a time that forgot me. I am held onto by two angels assigned to me because every other soul was either too expensive or too broke to follow. Somehow, I was picked but I have nothing to give, except a home’s warmth in a feeling not yet there. They became the beating brain of my last two hemispheres.
We’ve been carrying a pram with yesterday’s promise - a lost childhood which fell out some years ago, many move on quickly while others forget they’re aging quicker than their mind. The egg holds a song of a bird that once shook the cold mornings, becomes a gift that through witted naivety and wilful boredom gives itself to whomever sparks a slight of songful, even if that song is sung by a swan.
And despite all this gloom, some sharpness of it still teaches me a road I still follow. Death is on my mind but not on my body. I will age long, age longer than those around me. 100 years
May brother brain now break me, for I can only now know how to wake.
Thank you @aafilmfest for screening @transmutation.film at @michstatetheaters
I am very blessed and grateful to have my film screened at the oldest avantgarde film festival, in the same place where Kenneth Anger, Maya Deren, and Suzan Pitt showed their work.
My short got rejected by almost every single festival I entered in for 2 years, so to simply be able to screen this film at such a prestigious festival like Ann Arbor after 2 years, felt like a deserved wait, and gave me so much hope that my films are being seen.
Thank you all for your love, and support of Transmutation.
Thank you @gyorfironia for having me for Symposium 8th March @lavernacollective@lgalerieparis
This was my debut performance in Paris, a piece inspired by Aristophanes’ Other Half in Plato’s Symposium.
I have longed to perform in paris, I have experienced so much love, chaos, and ugliness here. And this performance came very serendipitously, I met and performed with Armand on the exact same day. It felt like we already knew how to perform this piece without having met.
