Director's Statement
I explore the intersection of storytelling, artificial intelligence, and human experience.
Through filmmaking and creative storytelling, I seek new ways of understanding
memory, identity, ethics, and the evolving relationship between humans and technology.
My work combines cinematic storytelling with emerging AI tools, creating narratives
that connect emotional experience with broader social and historical questions.
